Introductions,
Welcome to JRA Photography Landscapes
Hello! I’m Jonathan Atkinson, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for landscape photography with you. My journey in photography began over a decade ago, dabbling in various forms from weddings to product shots. However, it was the allure of landscapes that captured my heart and soul.
I have mainly shot landscapes since 2013 when I was in my first year of college, studying Media Production and Studies. In high school, I made video essays in a news program format, but unfortunately, those videos were lost to years of hard-drive changes. R.I.P. school report on ethnic representations in crime dramas. As you can see in the screen grab below, pure cinema. shot with the same camera used for Loch Ness monster sightings.
A Journey Through Time.
My first intentional landscape shot was at Cheesden Lumb Mill, a place that’s close to my heart. Equipped with my Nikon D5100, I braved the cold March morning with my dad, find our way through the farmers field making our way to the location of the waterfall flowing from the remnants from a Victorian paper mill. This moment marked the beginning of my dedicated pursuit of landscape photography.
Fast forward to today, and I’m excited to showcase my growth and the beauty I’ve captured along the way. Each photograph tells a story, from the chill of my first shoot to the serene landscapes I now explore with ease.
A New Chapter,
People often say, “Do something you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” That’s precisely how I feel about my landscape work. Even as I write this on a Sunday evening, it feels like a joy rather than a chore. After years of balancing event photography with my day job, I’m now cutting away the events to be more immersed in landscape photography, and I couldn’t be happier.
Looking Forward
I’m looking forward to adding more stunning images to my gallery and sharing my journey with you. This blog is the best place to stay updated with my latest work and future endeavors.
