Lindsey Harris
Photographer in Dorset, UK
Based in Dorset, botanical and landscapes are my preference, in addition to concert/festivals, documentary and street photography.
Since February 2012 I have been working on ‘The Lower Parkstone Photographic Project’, which photographically documents the various businesses of Lower Parkstone in Poole, Dorset. This is a ‘snapshot in time’ – a work still in progress, although I aim to exhibit these photos publicly one day.
My photographs have been purchased by the public, estate agents, solicitors, churches, and charities, amongst others. I also regularly work to commission.
In the past, I was a member of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), which represents a broad range of media professionals.
2021 – Awarded RHS Silver Gilt Medal
Six of my photographs were on display at the Saatchi Gallery, in London, from 18th September – 9th October, as part of the 2021 RHS Botanical Art & Photography Show.
The images are from a photographic project that involved travelling over 2000 miles by car and on foot, through six UK counties.

2018 – Official photographer of the ‘Man Engine’, at Radstock
In April 2018 I was part of the photography team that photographed the awesome Man Engine, at Radstock. One of my photos from that event features in Golden Tree’s ‘Kalender Kernewek 2020’.

I was commissioned by the Landmark Trust to take photos of Sir Antony Gormley’s ‘Landmark’ figure, at Kimmeridge, in Dorset. One of the photos I shot appeared in the Trust’s promotional material and has also been used by Sir Antony Gormley, and by a private collector of his work.
