Ep 227 - Embracing Wild Weather and Emotional Depth in the Landscape with Simon Berry

Simon Berry is a UK-based professional landscape and seascape photographer known for capturing nature at its most dynamic. Drawn to dramatic weather and powerful coastal scenes, Simon thrives in challenging conditions, creating images filled with movement, atmosphere, and emotional force. His work reflects a deep connection to wild places, particularly the rugged coasts and dramatic landscapes of Scotland.   Photography has been part of Simon’s life from an early age, shaped by artistic influence from his father. Early frustrations in landscape photography evolved into a disciplined approach rooted in patience, pre-visualization, and an appreciation for waiting on nature’s terms. Over time, Simon found joy in embracing unpredictability — harnessing turbulence, tidal energy, and shifting light to express the raw beauty of the natural world.   In conversation, Simon reflects on the emotional value of authenticity in his work and the creative freedom photography offers. He speaks passionately about the importance of printing, preserving moments beyond screens, and building a tangible legacy of images that tell personal stories. Simon also shares his love for both film and digital mediums, appreciating the unique creative qualities each brings to the photographic experience.   Today, his work encourages viewers to slow down and feel the landscape — not just observe it — and to appreciate nature in all its wild, weather-shaped character.   I hope you enjoy the show!
