About James Burns

I am also an ardent supporter of the "Passionate About The North East" campaign, and I aim to capture the area's beauty for as many people as I can.

Aside from my love of the land I also have an interest in the architectural image. Specifically the quirky, gothic and abandoned. A recent project has seen me photographing a range of decaying buildings that have been lost to the ravages of time. It is hoped that an exhibition of these images will shortly be shown around a number of North East galleries.

I currently reside in No Place, which in reality is a small village in County Durham.
