Welcome to James Kelly-Smith Photography, my world of landscapes, forests, mountains and such.
For those new to me, I'm James Kelly-Smith, and I'm a landscape photographer (this sounds a bit like an AA meeting!!). I'm based in the Forest of Dean in the UK, however my passion is the mountains and more wilderness landscapes. So, I venture a lot into Wales, which I class my spiritual home. You will find my photos range from mountainous scenes, to woodlands, some small detailed macro photography as well as a bit of wildlife. Essentially, anything outdoors, but mainly landscapes.
So, what's this all about then?
Good question! I want to find ways to connect with my audience (customers, followers...dare I say it, fans? ha!) through my website. I know through Social Media that some of you enjoy the commentary that I provide behind the images I post, but I find some times I can never quite say enough, or it feels very brief! So a blog seems like the perfect way to really delve deep into what I do and bring my images to life a bit more.
What to expect?
So this will probably be a bit of a journey (yuck!...hate that term), but my thoughts are to add context to my images. Expect some behind the scenes and on-location posts, maybe something a bit more historically informative about a certain place, even some folklore no doubt along the way. Because I do love the stories and I guess that is what I try to convey in an image.

I hope that you will find my posts interesting and that the passion and excitement will come through about the photos that I share. Remember I sell prints and canvases as well as other products, so do feel free to browse through my website and see what takes your fancy.
