About Justin Minns – Landscape Photographer & Photography Tutor

I’m Justin Minns, an award-winning professional landscape photographer based in Suffolk, England. I’m best known for creating atmospheric images of East Anglia, but my lens has also taken me across the British Isles and the world, capturing mood and place for clients such as the National Trust, English Heritage, the British Museum, and NEOM.

PROFILE

For over a decade, East Anglia, its restless skies and gentle landscapes, has shaped my artistic vision. It is home so naturally the area where I feel the strongest connection but I am fortunate that my photography has led me to many parts of the world and places like the wild expanses of Iceland’s glaciers, the dramatic deserts of Namibia have allowed me to expand my storytelling. This work has been widely published, appearing on everything from book covers to jam jars (you can see some examples here).  

WORKSHOPS & TEACHING

As an experienced photography tutor I have been helping others to improve their photography for over twelve years. I offer a range of 1-to-1 tuition and small group workshops across East Anglia, the UK, and stunning international destinations from the glaciers of Iceland to the deserts of Namibia. I also deliver tailored sessions for the National Trust and the Royal Photographic Society

ETHICS & EQUIPMENT

I’m a committed member of Nature First: The Alliance for Responsible Nature Photography, following principles that prioritise the wellbeing of nature.

In the field, I rely on high-quality, dependable gear: Canon cameras & lenses, LEE Filters, f-stop camera bags, Integral memory cards, Gitzo & Benro tripods, Arca Swiss & Lensmaster heads and DJI drones - though I believe the true essence of photography lies in seeing and feeling more than gear alone.
