Jonathan Horrocks

Jonathan Horrocks is a landscape photographer living in Epsom. Originally born and raised in Northumberland he spent many of his teenage years in an area that is a favourite for most landscape photographers in the country. He spends his spare time trying to capture the beauty of the British Isles, with a particular interest in coastal photography. His work has been published in a number of books and magazines, as well as featuring in an exhibition at the National Theatre on London’s Southbank.

"Photography is a wonderful combination of science and art, which appeals to me because of my mathematical background. I have always had a love of the British landscape from growing up in Northumberland and many happy family holidays spent in the Lake District, Scotland and especially Cornwall. I aim to try and capture all of the wonder, peace and beauty that these places evoke in me.

The images I have chosen for this exhibition, are from some of my favourite parts of the UK. I am inspired to take many different views, from conventional big vistas, to more intimate details but each image is an attempt to distil all my thoughts and feelings about a moment and a place into the final print. I don't always strive for a purely visually realistic photograph; using optics, exposure and post processing creatively to try and convey all the senses and emotions of a particular location at a particular time."
