About Duncan Richards

Thank you for visiting Hoxton Lightrooms. This online gallery exhibits samples of my work taken at locations across the globe and over some [happy] distance of time. I have set out this website and its galleries to reflect some core themes that remain important to the images I produce.

As a Schoolboy in the UK's Westcountry, I loved to draw and paint the landscapes I found around me. In time, I replaced more traditional artist tools and canvas papers with a camera. I realised that photography could achieve my goals of producing images with the accuracy and integrity I sought. Each image reproduced on this site is essentially a continuation of that search to capture nice views.

Today, as my photography evolves, is challenged [and rewarded] by the places I am lucky enough to visit, the central principles of integrity of the image, accuracy and respect for the scenes I capture are maintained. I hope that respect and deference can be seen and enjoyed in the images exhibited; combined with a sense of my excitement with it. The adventure of exploring the natural beauty of our planet continues.

Hoxton Lightrooms is an ongoing project, please do get in touch and check back as there will be updates and new galleries and submissions. As future galleries arrive, I hope to build on the positivity created by working on and sharing photos of beautiful landscape locations. As the name suggests, I am based in Hoxton, London – a long-standing hotbed for creativity and artists. I welcome and look forward to hearing from you and of course other photographers. I aim to make Hoxton Lightrooms a gallery and forum for others to contribute, enjoy and exhibit their works.

Please note the photos on this website are heavily scaled down versions. The actual original images are many times larger, more vibrant and with far greater details. The photos exhibited comply with the regulations and guidance issues by the Landscape Photographer of the Year and the Wildlife photographer of the Year competitions and may be purchased, along with a variety of fine art printing options linked to some of the best printing studios based in Shoreditch and in Farringdon, London. Each image is released as part of a strictly numbered and certificated limited edition, endorsed and signed by me. Commissions and other work may also be discussed. Please do get in touch with me for further details and information.

At the time of writing, all images have been taken with a Sony full-frame mirrorless camera and a variety of G and G-Master lenses.
