Hello my name is Lawrie, I am an award winning Cornish / British landscape photographer based in Saltash, Cornwall.
My work has been published all around the World in various mediums and formats.
My hometown is Penzance in far West Cornwall. I left Pz and moved to Plymouth in 2010, I was with my former partner for over a decade until she left me which happened to be the same day my father died also. My mental health took a downward spiral quickly at the time we lived above a Methodist Church. At first it was very hard for me – the people and family who I trusted turned their backs on me and my mum. I moved to Crediton in Devon for a few months before moving back to Cornwall in August 2024.
I am a firm believer of mental illness especially in men, I support friends who also have similar diagnoses to my own, I also blog on the subject too. Its just a shame for over 10 years I had to encounter people who did not believe mental health was a thing nor was self employment for that matter. I am over my ex but its taught me lots of life lessons too.
I am a survivor, I have been hospitalized many times since 2024 and not always with the right to leave. Which has likely saved my life to be honest, I have 5 confirmed mental health conditions and as of July 2025 the right meds and support in place.
If you are interested in photography, video, or whatever, you’d be very welcome to contact me and if im in your area then you’d be welcome to come with me sometime. I do have a few photo walks planned, these will be advertised on my blog and events pages in due course.
