As we move through autumn and approach the winter months, I find myself increasingly drawn to the quality of light this time of year.

The sun sits lower in the sky, the days grow shorter, and the changing atmosphere gives the landscape an entirely different feel. I have always felt that photographers understand that a familiar place can become something entirely new depending on the hour, the season and the conditions of the day. From the delicate beauty of autumn in Japan, to the quiet mist in the forest, to the stillness of an English winter landscape, they remind us how much there is to discover and feel when we take a moment to breath and soak in the beauty of Mother Nature.

I hope you enjoy them.
