MORE ABOUT OUR PHOTOGRAPHER

Andrew Ray lives in Cornwall, where much of his inspiration for great photography comes from. Mountainous destinations – the Scottish Highlands, Wales and the Lake District – are also favourites.

He became interested in photography in his early twenties. ‘My doctor suggested spending more time outside could help with the migraines I was suffering with, so I took up walking. Cornwall has such inspirational scenery that photographing this was a natural progression. Initially, after taking an evening course, it was just a hobby, but it quickly turned into a full-time profession which has lasted for over 20 years’

‘I aim to create strong compositions in quality light – particularly during the ‘golden’ hours around sunrise and sunset. All of my photographs are captured using Canon cameras (currently the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV) and a tripod, along with a selection of professional lenses and filters which are used to balance brightness levels or for creative effect.’

Andrew’s images have received numerous awards including Royal Photographic Society medals for both landscape and wildlife. He regularly features in local and national newspapers, books, and magazines.
