Welcome to My World of Landscape Photography

Hi, I’m Joy — a self-taught landscape photographer based in the Lake District, UK.

Surrounded by the mountains, lakes, and raw beauty of Cumbria, I use photography to connect deeply with nature and capture its ever-changing moods. My journey began in childhood, but in 2019 I fully committed to landscape photography as a creative and emotional outlet.

The Lake District is more than just home — it's my greatest inspiration. From the calm reflections of Ullswater to the misty shores of Derwentwater and the dramatic light over the fells, I aim to capture moments that evoke peace, awe, and presence. My style blends simplicity with emotion, often using long exposures, natural light, and Kase filters to reveal the atmosphere of each scene.

In addition to the Lake District, I photograph the wild beauty of Scotland and the Highlands, always seeking untamed places that stir the soul. I believe powerful images are everywhere — often just around the corner — if we slow down and really look.

I’m also the founder of Women Photographers UK, a growing community created to support and elevate female photographers across the country. It's a space to connect, share stories, and build each other up in a traditionally male-dominated field.

With my two miniature dachshunds by my side and just one camera, one lens, and my trusty filters, I’ve simplified my kit to reconnect with what I love most: capturing the essence of nature in its purest form.

Founder of WomenPhotographersUK

I’m the founder and curator of @WomenPhotographersUK, a dedicated Instagram community created to celebrate and support the work of female photographers, videographers, and creatives across the UK.

This platform exists to showcase the incredible talent and creativity of women behind the lens — talent that’s often overlooked in an industry still dominated by men. I launched WomenPhotographersUK to change that, to offer visibility, connection, and inspiration for women in photography.

The page features a curated collection of powerful imagery, personal stories, and artistic perspectives — all from women making their mark in visual storytelling.

By spotlighting their work, we’re building a space that uplifts, empowers, and helps drive greater representation for women in the photography world.
