Graham Niven - Freelance photographer based in Cairngorms of Scotland.
Predominantly nature and landscape inspired, Graham’s work reflects a diversity of genres and subjects, which echos his curiosity and experiences, in life and photography.
Undertaking a range of commissioned work, Graham also runs bespoke photography tutorials and creates prints from his frequently award-winning images in his wee woodland gallery - celebrating scenes from the serene and detailed to the epic and dramatic.

Really chuffed and humbled to have been asked to be one of the main features in Outdoor Photography Magazine this month (September 2024). For those who are not familiar - it is one of the UK’s leading and most respected photography publications, and as it happens really the only one I read. So it was a very pleasant surprise to be asked to contribute.
The piece is called In conversation with… Graham Niven, and it really was a broad and relaxed chat with Nick Smith - in which I managed to ramble on in a verbose and excited way about my journey in photography and how I got to where I am, and maybe where I hope to go. Nick managed to somehow transform this into a flowing and very complimentary article highlighting my influences along the way and how I am embracing the freedom of being a 'generalist’ photographer.
The images selected stretch from the Peruvian Andes to the Abernethy Caledonian Pine Forest out my back door, a real privilege to have my work viewed alongside some tremendous outdoor photography including:
Ross Hoddinott offers his tips for shooting water in the landscape
Finn Hopson reveals the arboreal delights of the South Downs
Cairngorms native Graham Niven discusses his passion for wild places
Andrew Warren on how relocating inspired a new way of seeing
When I can - I will post a transcript here for anyone interested, otherwise you can catch it (issue 309) in any good magazine store or online.
