Landscapes By Women

Landscapes by Women

Landscapes by Women is a website dedicated to the art of outdoor photography created by women. They want to present the best works showing the world through our eyes. They are based in the United Kingdom, so to start with they would like to showcase artists based here. With time they would like to include women photographers from Europe and even the whole world.

Landscape photography has always been a male dominated field. It may be more challenging for women to work outdoors from purely practical reasons, like personal safety and general risk of travelling alone in isolated places. However, there are more women landscape photographers now than ever before and this site celebrates that fact. It aims to bring you the best of our work. They would like to show that regardless of any challenges women face, they can bring unique and compelling images.

Their aim is to create a community that would give more visibility to women photographers, a community where they can share their own perspective and views, support and inspire each other and perhaps inspire other women to get out there and pursue their love of art.

Japanese Crabapple Blossom

Autumn Explosion!!

• A little experiment. Taken at Westonbirt Arboretum. A beautiful orange Japanese Maple Tree, using a 70-300mm lens I set the camera to f/40 with an exposure of 1/5. With the camera on a tripod I began with the lens on full 300mm and during the slow exposure I slowly rotated the lens back to 70mm. Et Voila! I love the fiery explosive effect!

• Hi, I’m Alyson and I’m a fine art and nature photographer based in Bath. I began my career as a hair and makeup artist in London, working along side some of the most celebrated music and fashion photographers. Having gained invaluable knowledge and experience in this environment, I have returned to my original passion of photography combining a love of nature with fine art.
