Richard Young is a fine art landscape photographer whose work explores the raw beauty and emotional depth of the natural world through atmospheric landscapes that invite deep contemplation. Richard’s approach is rooted in personal expression, capturing the essence of place beyond the purely visual. His artistic vision has evolved over the years from grand vistas to more intimate, introspective studies of nature. This distinctive perspective defines his work.
Richard’s fine art prints have been widely exhibited and his work has been recognised in prestigious international photography awards. His recognition for creating exquisitely detailed fine-art prints has led him to work as an ambassador for Epson Printers. He also works with Nikon New Zealand as an official Nikon Creator—part of a global team of visionary artists exploring new ground.
In 2013 Richard founded New Zealand Photography Workshops, which is now New Zealand’s largest photography tour operator.

At the start of May, I spent a really enjoyable few days exploring some favourite autumn landscapes with inspirational UK photographer, filmmaker, and author Sean Tucker, resulting in some of my best work from the season. While we were together, Sean filmed some beautiful footage of me working in the landscape, which he artfully composed into a documentary about my approach to landscape photography for his YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MxID...
I encourage you to buy Sean’s book, The Meaning and the Making. It is an inspiring read and helped me to explore what drives me—as a creative person—along with the sense of balance I require to create personal and unique work. It is also available as an audiobook, which is beautifully narrated by Sean himself.
Make sure you also subscribe to Sean’s YouTube channel and explore some of his past videos; I particularly enjoyed his ones with Margaret Soraya and Simon Baxter.
