Lindsey Harris
Photographer in Dorset, UK
Botanical photography and landscapes are my preference, in addition to documentary and street photography.
I’m a member of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ), which represents a broad range of media professionals.
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 my photos publicly.
My photos have been purchased by the public, estate agents, solicitors, churches and charities, amongst others. I also regularly work to commission.
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 & 2019 – Official photographer at Larmer Tree Festival, Wiltshire
In 2018 and 2019 I was a member of the official Larmer Tree Festival photography team. One of my Festival photos was used inside ‘Salisbury Life’ magazine and another was chosen for the May 2019 cover, which you can see here.
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’.
2017 – Awarded RHS Bronze medal, with 6 photos displayed at RHS Chelsea Flower Show
I was selected to show a portfolio of my botanical work at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, where I was awarded a Bronze medal. This was part of that year’s RHS Photographic Competition.
2015 – Commissioned to photograph Sir Antony Gormley’s ‘Landmark’ figure, Kimmeridge, Dorset
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.
