P E R R A N P O R T H “THIS IS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND MOST POPULAR IMAGES IN MY PORTFOLIO. THE NATURAL SEA ARCH ON PERRANPORTH BEACH IN CORNWALL WAS ILLUMINATED BY EARLY MORNING SUNLIGHT.” M O R E A B O U T O U R P H O T O G R A P H E R Andrew Ray lives in Cornwall, where much of his inspiration for great photography comes from. Mountainous destinations – the Scottish Highlands, Wales and the Lake District – are also favourites. 〰 He became interested in photography in his early twenties. ‘My doctor suggested spending more time outside could help with the migraines I was suffering with, so I took up walking. Cornwall has such inspirational scenery that photographing this was a natural progression. Initially, after taking an evening course, it was just a hobby, but it quickly turned into a full-time profession which has lasted for over 20 years’ 〰 ‘I aim to create strong compositions in quality light – particularly during the ‘golden’ hours around sunrise and sunset. All of my photographs are captured using Canon cameras (currently the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV) and a tripod, along with a selection of professional lenses and filters which are used to balance brightness levels or for creative effect.’ 〰 Andrew’s images have received numerous awards including Royal Photographic Society medals for both landscape and wildlife. He regularly features in local and national newspapers, books, and magazines. 〰 Readers can buy Andrew’s prints or book onto his one-to-one and group photography tuition tours in Cornwall by visiting andrewrayphotography.com BritishTravelJournal.com 15
