Welcome to Lou Horton photography

I'm a Devon-based photographer with a love of the pattern, form and palette of the natural world. I specialise in images of nature and landscapes, and this site offers a growing collection of fine art prints and commercial images.

Fine art prints

I aim to provide beautiful, long-lasting photographic prints at an accessible price without compromising on quality. I create my photographic prints with care to ensure they possess clarity, depth of colour and long life. They are available on a variety of professional papers for a choice of finish, as either unmounted prints, in conservation-grade mounts or ready-framed.

Visit my prints page for further information on print quality and choices, and to browse my collection.

Stock images

I offer images for commercial use under two licencing models: rights managed and royalty free. Visit my stock page to find out more about both and to browse my stock collection.

2010 Calendar now available

news

My 2010 calendar is fresh off the presses: Still light – a year through the lens of a Devon photographer.

The name Still Light seemed a natural choice for this collection of photographs, as I explore the nuances of light through a selection of landscape and nature images with a feeling of stillness, calm and balance. Most are taken in Devon, where I’m based, for a local feel and are displayed in the month they were taken to complement the changing seasons.

My calendar is printed on 300gsm heavy
