My name is Jonathan Attree and I am a landscape photographer based in the Forest of Dean in south-west England.

I started taking photographs in the late nineteen-eighties and through the work of Ansel Adams and Fay Godwin became fascinated with the emotive power of the monochrome image and its ability to portray often unseen facets of the landscape.

In the early years of my photographic experience, I was influenced by traditional, pictorial landscape photographers and produced many such images. In more recent times I have been driven by an increasing desire to show how human beings have influenced the shape and form of the landscape.

My aim is to combine elements of documentary realism with occasional humour and irony to create juxtapositions of natural beauty and human intervention that depict how the past has influenced the present and how we have redefined and reconstructed the landscape.

With these images I hope to convey some of the strange and sometimes unexpected beauty of our world and evoke reflective and emotional responses from the viewer.

I gained a Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society in 1995 and am currently working towards an Associateship with a project based in the Forest of Dean.
