JAMES ABBOTT is a talented landscape photographer based in Cambridgeshire, although you’ll often find him exploring one of the UK’s many hills or mountains, shooting landscapes and teaching workshops. He’s also the author of The Digital Darkroom: The Definitive Guide to Photo Editing. We met up with him at Wyming Brook, one of his favourite spots to photograph waterfalls in the UK’s stunning Peak District. jamesaphoto.co.uk 

APPRENTICE

GEMMA is a product photographer as well as weekend bird watcher and photographer. You’ll find some of her lovely birding pictures on Instagram @thebirdnerdx_ but while Gemma has a passion for all things outdoors and is confident with wildlife photography, she’s always struggled with landscapes. That’s why we’ve paired her up for the day with landscape pro James Abbott to unlock the full potential of her Canon EOS R6 to capture long-exposure river scenes.
