About Me

I’m Andrew Young — a former member of 7th Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery (7 Para RHA) who found a new path and purpose through woodland photography. My journey from military life to the quiet stillness of the woodland has shaped not only how I see the natural world, but how I share it.

After thirteen years and four deployments in environments where focus, discipline, and heightened awareness were essential, I discovered that woodlands offered something I’d been missing: space to breathe, to observe, and to reconnect. What began as simple walks quickly grew into a deep appreciation for the atmosphere, structural challenges, and subtle beauty of woodland landscapes.

Photography became my way of slowing down — of studying how light filters through the canopy, how mist softens the distance between trees, and how the woodland transforms through the seasons. Over time, it evolved into a passion and a craft that I now dedicate myself to fully.

My website is where those experiences come together. Here, I share:

My aim is simple:
To inspire others to see the woodland not just as scenery, but as a place of creativity, calm, and endless photographic possibility.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my work. I hope my story encourages you to slow down, look closer, and change your woodland perspective.
