Welcome to Nature In The Frame. Landscape & Nature Photography by Kevin Brace

All of my images are available to buy online, many sold in limited edition runs of 50 or 100 prints only. All photographs come mounted on quality white art board, they are titled and signed. All Limited Edition prints come with a certificate of authenticity, signed by the photographer.

I love photography, I love landscapes and nature and that provides me with my excuse. My way in. The restorative effect of what lies around us, the things, the stuff the essence of what made our world before we intruded into it in our clumsy clumpy fashion, is often ignored or overlooked because we have distracted our senses and even made them numb to what surrounds us. In an effort to cleanse and make safe, improve upon and profit from, too many of us have lost sight of what was once there and difficult to avoid. The curves and lumps and bumps, the furrows cracks and creases, the textures and the tastes that permeate the air and the colours and smells that assault the eyes and assail our other senses.

Our world is made up of images we are inundated, in books on the screen in film and TV, magazines and billboards the metaphorical and literal. Photography is about stimulating the senses, provoking thought and feeling, raising debate, representing the real or telling a lie. It is about taking ordinary images and making them stand out and shine, shout and speak with us, to us.

It is my vain desire that some of my pictures will strike a chord or raise an emotion, provoke a memory or instil a wish, a desire to touch, be with in at, or near the scene, promote plans and raise hopes. If I nurture one smile, elicit a sigh or cause you to fleetingly forget then…job done.

I hope you will take time to look through the galleries and enjoy the photographs inside. My passion is for the landscape and the light that sweeps across it, painting it in its colours and defining its tones, shaping its mood and characterizing its seasons. I suppose I work in extremes, producing long wide panoramas;scene stealing and angle stretching images at one end of the scale and then focusing on the unseen and underfoot the details and minutiae, the world within. I feel relaxed and alive in the mountains and the wilder places of our planet but always enjoy coming back to my home in the Channel Islands & taking photos of Jersey with its stunning coastline and dramatic beaches and the inherent colours indelibly stained into the islands granite heart.

I am not an equipment buff; life is too short to be bothered with the comparative qualities of different bodies, makes sizes and focal lengths. By error more than trial I use Nikon equipment in the large, it is sturdy and reliable and vocally praised by Paul Simon. Although my days of using Kodachrome have now been surpassed by digital technology. My best bit of kit is my Manfrotto tripod, built to last and withstand the abuse that I heap upon it with good grace and more importantly integrity. Lesser beasts have succumbed and litter the high hills where they lie. And Adobe Photoshop rules the screen, taking pride of place amongst a plethora of other redundant applications in my iMac.
