HARSHARN GILL

“Being an avid outdoor enthusiast involved in endurance sports, I’m used to passing through the landscape, but never stopping long enough to appreciate it. Photography allows me to slow things right down, take in the views and express myself creatively, which is reflected in my images and my passion for the outdoors.

Based in Manchester, I focus much of my efforts on photographing the beautiful and ever changing landscape in the nearby Peak District, shaped by both the seasons and unique British weather. This provides me with an opportunity to not only to document the Peak, but to also produce images from the most extreme conditions in winter to the blossoming purple heather found in late summer, conveying the diverse environment the Peak District has to offer.

With a keen interest in Geology, photography is the perfect partner to capturing a moment in time, which has evolved through thousands of millenniums only for us to find how it is today, and as with many photographers, I prefer the early and late light of the day to show the landscape at its best, with the warm light accentuating the beauty of the hills and valleys alike.”
