Bowland Photo is the partnership of photographers Margaret Mortimer and Jason Merrin.

We both have our own styles and ways of seeing and taking photographs but we both share an overwhelming passion for the the great outdoors and in particular the Forest of Bowland. We love capturing its beauty and feel privileged to live here and be able to share out photography with you. We can often both be found wondering around the areas surrounding our home in Bowland with our two miniature Jack Russell dogs  Poppy & Daisy.

When Margaret left school and began her career the first thing she bought herself with her very first wage was a camera. Margaret has been taking photographs ever since that time.

Margaret has a real passion for landscape photography  and can often be found wading through rivers or climbing rocks and trees to get that perfect angle. Because of her determination to get to find a new angle and her willingness to get wet and muddy her images often turn out to be from a different angle to the usual ones anyone else would find.

After visiting family and spending holidays in the Forest of Bowland for many years Margaret moved to Bowland in 2015 and is already gaining a reputation within the local community for her outstanding landscape photography of the area.

You can see more of Margaret's general photography on her Flickr site and you can email Margaret directly by emailing margaret@bowland.photo.

I also moved to the Forest of Bowland in 2015 and absolutely adore living in the Pennines and in particular the Hodder Valley.

I too am very passionate about landscape photography though I have an equal passion for architecture. If I can combine the two like the photograph of Dunnow Hall above then its a perfect scenario for me.

I specialise in High Dynamic Range HDR photography which I have given talks on to local camera groups. You can read more about on my Architectural Photography Services website at www.jasonmerrin.com and you can see more of my general photography on my Flickr page.

You can contact me directly by emailing jason@bowland.photo.

Last but not least our four legged friends & walking companions.

Poppy (Left) & Daisy (Right) are miniature Jack Russell sisters who have been with us since they were 8 weeks old in February 2014.

They can be seen with us on the majority of our photo walks  around the Forest of Bowland and although they have tiny legs they never ever EVER get tired of walking.
