VERDANT LANDSCAPE, PUNCTUATED BY BRIAR, LEATHER BOUND TOMES & GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE
Wind carved coastlines of dun and chalk create a dramatic atmosphere when offset with a blustery sky.
Glittering windows of Oxford offset with stately Lebanese Cedar trees.
The rolling hills of the cotswolds and sun filled courtyards.
Ivy covered windows and stone walls with sheep evoking a storybook landscape.
Meandering paths and rituals of comfort create the slow way of travel.
The English countryside is an enduring source of inspiration for DJS. Through travelling and photographing places across Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, the Peak District, Yorkshire, Bath and the countryside surrounding Highclere, the photography collection is continually shaped by the details found along the way. From ancient oaks and weathered stone walls to the architectural details of Oxford, the Georgian character of Bath, the rolling hills and botanicals of the Peak District, the country estates of Highclere, and the farm shops, gardens and quiet lanes of the Cotswolds, each image reflects a fascination with the textures, landscapes and everyday details of rural England. Places such as Kintbury, Inkpen, East Woodhay, Combe, Guiting Power, Blockley, Snowshill, Lacock, Castle Combe, Hathersage, Baslow and Helmsley have all become part of this visual language, creating a growing collection of imagery for brands seeking an authentic sense of English countryside, heritage and timeless character.
