I Understand…

Now you’re ready to start showcasing your property and its surrounding landscape in its best light.
You want the photographs to stand out in a crowded marketplace and sell the experience for you so you can save your precious time and energy.
You want people to feel as though they are standing right with you in the grounds or gardens as they view the images online.
You want the photographs to capture the spirit of your place and connect with the soul of a person on the other end.
You want to attract the right type of customers; customers who are willing to pay a premium price for your rejuvenating & healing experience.
That is where I come in...
I’m Brad Carr, internationally-published, fine art landscape photographer, and creator of Spirit of Place, through which I offer bespoke photography commissions for retreat centres & luxury properties throughout Wales.
I am proud to be able to say that I have been the ‘Featured Photographer’ and also had my photographs of the sacred Welsh landscape published alongside my creative essays in some of the biggest landscape photography magazines in the world. Oh, and my debut exhibition, Finding Light, was viewed by an estimated 20,000 people when it lined the walls of Wales’ oldest and one of its most prestigious galleries, Plas Glyn y Weddw, in 2025.
I have quickly established myself amongst the leading names in UK landscape photography with my mystical and atmospheric photographs of ancient woodlands, serene lakes, and timeless mountain landscapes, and captivated tens of thousands of people with my personal story of healing and transformation. Now I am here to help you tell your story.

In today's saturated online markets, potential customers scroll past hundreds of photographs daily. Lifeless, amateur photography gets lost on people’s digital news feeds.
Your sanctuary and its surrounding magical landscape is capable of completely transforming a persons life.
It deserves high-quality, compelling photographs that tell its story, stop a person scrolling, command their attention, demand a premium price, and ultimately sell your life-changing experience for you so you can reserve your precious energy for the important work: engaging with the customers when they arrive!

‘‘I have long believed that every place has its own spirit. If we are open, that spirit becomes a part of us.’’
Application of Artistry
Through the marriage of technical photography mastery and spiritual sensitivity, I will transform the essence of your landscape or property into timeless, gallery-worthy photographs that speak to the soul and capture the imagination of a person — putting them in the scene and selling a profound, transformative experience before they have even touched foot on your ground.
Bespoke Commission Service
Every place holds its own ancient story whispered by the winds, carved by the hands of time, and blessed by the sweet caress of morning’s first light.
As a guardian of one of these sacred properties, you will understand that certain landscapes transcend mere geography. They become sanctuaries for the soul, temples of tranquility, and galleries of the divine.
Telling the unique story of your sanctuary ensures it remains imprinted in the minds of your customers long after they have left, ensuring that the spirit of your place lives on as a part of them.
Sacred Stewardship
The surrounding landscape is more than a just property. It is a testament to Mother Nature’s artistry. Each bespoke commission is approached as an artistic expression.
I photograph not only what I see, but what I feel whilst standing in your grounds, ensuring I leave a part of my own sensitive heart and soul in every story that I tell with my camera.
This means that the photographs are also felt by the person on the other end, ensuring they connect and feel a resonance with the landscape surrounding your sacred space.

Serving Professional People with Integrity & Pride
I choose only to work with true professionals with whom I connect and strike a deep resonance with: property, land, and business owners who understand that exceptional spaces deserve exceptional photography.
I am selective about the projects I engage with and where I dedicate my energy; it is a precious resource for an artist, after all.
Please download the PDF brochure below, spend some time with it, and feel into it carefully. Do you resonate with me and my philosophies? Do you feel a connection with me through my words? If yes, then great, you will find a link to schedule a meeting with me to take things to the next stage.

What a Gallery Curator Says About My Landscape Photographs:
Alex Boyd Jones ★★★★★
‘‘It has been a wonderful and fulfilling experience to support and work alongside Brad in delivering his first solo exhibition in a public gallery. The trajectory of his creative practice, and the personal journey that sits in parallel, has been deeply inspiring, not only to me but to all those who encounter him and his work. Visitors to the exhibition were visibly touched, not only by his story but by the strength of his photographs to connect them with nature and with themselves in meaningful and unexpected ways.’’
