JIM COSSEY A LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER AND FULLY QUALIFIED DRONE PILOT BASED RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE BRECON BEACONS NATIONAL PARK. 

Before becoming a professional photographer, I packed up my suitcase and headed off to the French Alps for 3 years. I ran Ski and Mountain Bike chalets throughout the summer and winter months. It was one of the best experiences of my life and made me appreciate the seasons and landscapes around us.

I have recently moved to the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park to reconnect and draw inspiration from the beautiful surroundings. 

I feel compelled to capture the beauty that is all around us whether in the warm golden light or the quiet dead of night surrounded by a trillion stars. I aim to capture emotion and meaning both in the wild corners of our island and in the heart of our bustling cities, my aim is not only to satisfy my clients but to share something remarkable in our day to day life.

I am also proud to be a Panasonic Lumix Ambassador.

WHERE YOU MAY HAVE SEEN MY WORK

NEWS!

Recent Feature in April’s Digital Camera Magazine where I explain my techniques on capturing waterfalls and in the importance of framing your composition in order to tell a more dynamic story through the image. I’ve shared my kit and settings I used on the day. I have also given a few first thoughts on the new Panasonic Lumix S1R.

I’m really pleased to share with you a recently shot documentary on my love for photography and the outdoors but also dark side of social media and how spending time outdoors for me re-ignites the spark for my photography and the search for new compositions. Shot and edited by my good friend and cinematographer Dom John in collaboration with Lumix UK. Shot on location here in the beautiful Brecon Beacons.

A beautiful evening to be had in the park last night. The last of the light catching the northern edges of The Black Mountains. Even had a hot chocolate up the top of Mynydd Troed whilst taking in the views...I know it should have been a beer! ------------------------------------------------------------- @lumixuk G9 + 35-100mm
Driving through the night and staying up for nearly 40hrs only to be greeted to a deluge of rain in Glencoe It quickly set the scene for the rest of the trip. Luckily the skies cleared just in time for mother nature to offer up something for our efforts at the stunning Castle Stalker. This was the only colour we saw for the 4 days but thankfully we had a well stocked bar up the road with over 300 whiskies which became our man creche for the trip! We still managed to bag 3 Munros but didn't have the weather for the Aonach Eagach Ridge... Next time! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @lumixuk G9 +12-35mm @kasefilters_uk Mag CPL+ 0.9 Slim Pro
A BTS shot from our first evening in Scotland at Castle Stalker. With only a couple of hours sleep over the previous 40hrs the sunset colours certainly made up for it.
On the the icy shores of Uttakleiv Beach, Lofoten. This beautiful beach streched along this rugged coastline and with the early evening sun providing colour in the sky. It was a balancing act trying to place the tripod legs and myself on the rocks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ @lumixuk S1R +24-105mm @kasefilters_uk CPL+ 6 stop ND @benrouk Mach 3 Carbon
On the icy shores of Uttakleiv Beach, Lofoten. This beautiful long sandy beach streched for miles along this rugged coastline. Some cool rocks made for the foreground and with the early evening sun providing some colour in the sky. ------------------------------------------------------------------ @lumixuk S1R+24-105mm @kasefilters_uk CPL + 6 Stop ND
A few from Tuesday nights wild camp up on Fan Hir with @grant_hyatt . Such an impressive ridgeline with interesting rock formations. The glow of morning light hitting these rocks was pretty juicy. Grant's also got a sweet new @atlaspacks wild camp/photo pack. Worth checking them out as it looks awesome. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- @lumixuk G9 + 12mm 1.4 35-100mm 2.8
