Finding Joy and Solace Through Nature Photography with Brian Nicholson

Join me as I travel to Midlothian, Scotland, to meet fellow landscape photographer Brian Nicholson at the peaceful Gladhouse Reservoir. In this video, Brian shares his personal photography journey — how he discovered this beautiful reservoir, why it means so much to him, and how it’s become a place of solace, mindfulness, and creative connection. Together, we spend a morning exploring the reservoir and surrounding woodlands, photographing water, reflections, and autumn trees as the seasons change. Brian talks me through his process — how he sees and composes his images, the emotions behind his work, and how photography helps him connect with nature and his inner child. We also discuss how photography offers space, solitude, and inspiration, and how being out in nature with our cameras helps us slow down and truly see. Brian and I first connected through my online community, Photographic Connections, and it’s been a privilege to see how his work and our shared love of the outdoors have grown over the years. If you’re passionate about landscape photography. outdoor and nature photography, Scottish landscapes and travel, mindfulness and creativity in nature or hearing the stories behind photographers and their work, then you’ll love this episode! ✨ Watch as we witness the beauty of Scotland’s quiet places and reflect on what photography can bring to our lives — peace, purpose, and connection.
