About Me.

My name is Harvey Tomlinson, 23 and I am a photographer from the east midlands. Photography is a passion of mine that I developed after the Covid-19 lockdowns because I was looking to get out and see the world more. Before Covid-19 I wasn't a particularly outdoorsy person but that changed in 2021 when I suddenly wanted to see the world and become more creative again. Before 2021 I was always a creative person but I had never found an outlet that I connected with, I knew I wanted to create things but I never knew if that was video, graphic design or more traditional mediums. When I discovered photography it became an obsession, I spent most of my savings in order to buy my first camera and I haven't stopped in four years and counting. I will photograph nearly anything as I love the challenge and the puzzle of trying to create the shot I have in my head. 

 

I was self taught for the first two years of practicing photography after which I went on to study for a degree in photography at where my course was run by the open university at Nottingham College, I finished my degree with a  1st, in the future I hope to do my masters. Two of my photos have won in the British photography awards, I won the peoples choice for documentary and the overall winner in architecture in 2025. I won the landscape category in the Photography Foundation awards 2025,  four of my images have been featured in the Glasgow gallery of photography. My work was featured in the Edinburgh Photographic society 4th digital salon in 2026.  I have previously had my work featured in the Djanogly gallery and shortlisted for the Nottingham young creative awards. My work has been featured in the BBC and in the left lion. My photograph of Ratcliffe Power Station has also been shortlisted for the National Geographic UK traveller competition where it was on display in London.
