About Anna's Cornwall View

Welcome to my website, which showcases a selection of my images of coastal locations in Cornwall, in the southwest of the UK. Please note that it is currently under reconstruction.

I was originally inspired to take up digital photography in 2006, in order to create a record of the Cornish landscape where I walk. My photography has greatly evolved since then. My primary goal has become the attempt to convey my personal constructions of the essence and mood of a place or moment and I particularly value spontaneity. I enjoy photographing the extremely picturesque views that Cornwall is renowned for but I've grown to prefer very simple scenes and those that might be considered mundane.

Image purchase

Much of my work is available to purchase for personal, editorial and commercial use. Please see my Getty Images site or use the web form (link in the footer) to contact me.

Image display quality

This site seems to work best with the Firefox web browser but is not optimised for devices with high density displays. Furthermore, the images hosted directly have been compressed and resized to increase speed for web publication. In order to improve display quality in general, I've started adding embedded images and albums that are hosted on Flickr at a higher resolution (but not full-size) and reducing the number of directly hosted ones. My aim is to use this website to showcase a selection of images and to use Flickr, or another hosting facility, to display most of my work.

A selection of my images may also be viewed on my portfolio site at Zenfolio but, again, it is not yet optimised for high density displays.

Website organisation

I’ve divided my galleries in terms of geographical location. Each of these places is, from my perspective, associated with its own very distinct mood. I've also started grouping images within each one by meteorological season. Images of the Cornish coast have been classified according to their sequence along the coastline, following it in an anticlockwise direction. I've also included a page where the locations featured are listed alphabetically.

I hope you enjoy viewing my images, thanks for visiting.
