John Beatty Author & Editor

John Beatty is outstanding among contemporary British nature, travel and adventure photographers, his international reputation securely based on a vast portfolio of extraordinary images from around the world that celebrate the beauty, variety and magnificence of landscape and nature. John shoots for a range of national international commercial clients, his work appears frequently in British and international media, and his books include The Pure Land: A Celebration of Wild Places, and Sula: Seabird Hunters of Lewis. Passionate about wilderness experience and its value, he publishes the annual Wild Nature Diary for the John Muir Trust, the leading wild land conservation charity in the UK. John lives in Bamford, in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District, with his wife Jan (and their children Robin and Jodie, when they're home from their own world-wanderings). He walks and cycles every day among his home moors when he's not travelling more distant parts of the globe.
