Michael Hartley (b. 1973, England) is a nature photographer. He processes digital captures with a timeless, spacious aesthetic.
Based on the South Coast, Michael explores the Jurassic Coast and the New Forest with his cameras – and more recently, a drone.
He acquired his first digital camera in 1998 and progressed up to dSLRs. He still considers instant feedback as digital’s greatest strength.
While always moving forward with technology, his style remains classic.
Capturing moments in these ancient locations, brings him peace and balance. His post-processing emphasises a certain stillness found in the initial record.
