Based in Castle Carrock on the edge of the Lake District, Paul Thomson is a professional landscape photographer with a profound passion for the wild and dramatic beauty of the British countryside. With the North Pennines on his doorstep and the Lake District within easy reach, he is fortunate to be surrounded by some of the UK’s most inspiring landscapes — and he strives to capture and share the magic of these places through his photography.

Paul’s work has been published in Practical Photography Magazine, featured by the BBC, and he is a proud contributor to Outdoor Photography Guide. He also shares his photography journey and insights through his YouTube channel and podcast, where he documents his adventures, creative process, and offers practical tips for fellow photographers.

In addition to creating imagery, Paul leads residential photography workshops across the UK and internationally — including destinations such as Italy and Canada — and provides tailored one-to-one tuition for those looking to improve their craft.

Whether chasing light in a quiet local valley or guiding a group through mountain scenery abroad, Paul’s goal remains the same: to connect people to the landscape and inspire others to see the world with fresh eyes.
