JAMES LINDSAY
PHOTOGRAPHER

About James Lindsay

I am a travel photographer based in Oxfordshire. I have travelled to over 60 countries on 6 continents. I have forever been a traveller, adventure and experience junkie.

When I was 18 I crossed the USA on a Greyhound bus, worked in Australia and then travelled back through Asia. In 1986 I drove from London to Cape Town and the following year crossed the Sahara desert on a dune buggy. Since then I have been on numerous expeditions to Borneo, Papua New Guinea and other parts of SE Asia, Africa and India as well as driving in vintage car rallies through Argentina, Italy, France and Mexico.

For some years I produced and acted as stills photographer for documentaries in India and Africa for National Geographic Channel and Discovery Channel. My 18 years as Trustee for the charity “Tusk” took me on regular fact finding trips throughout the African continent. 

I have spent much of my life photographing wildlife and nature. However, recently I was drawn back to India where I focused on street photography. In March 2019 I put on a sell-out exhibition of images drawn from my time in Calcutta, Delhi and Bombay.

My goal is to share my insight of the places I visit, capturing the people who inhabit them and catching the soul of the cultures with whom I come into contact.
