Jim Scott

I use photography as a way to capture the impact that history has had on our landscapes and culture. In particular, my passion is for the coastlines, hills and countryside of my home county of Northumberland, which borders England and Scotland.
So I try to combine my passion for visual story telling and our beautiful landscapes with these remnants of the past, which often feature in my images too. In 2022 I won the Northern Photography Prize, and in 2023 I was shortlisted for World Historic Photographer of the Year. I work closely with Visit Northumberland and my images have also been featured on national TV, in history books such as Dan Snow’s ‘The History of England’ and in various publications, such as; The Telegraph, Daily Mail and National Trust Magazine.
