If you are not already familiar with Emma's work, here's an overview: Emma Holt is fast becoming one of the North’s leading female, Fine-Art Landscape photographers. She is best known for the emotional connection she is able to capture between her and her chosen subject matter… Often shooting on location, she is able to react to her surroundings, creating extremely emotive and atmospheric work, choosing to work mainly in monochrome has enabled her to perfect atmospheric photography.

She has previously exhibited an exciting series of works, based on the Industrial heritage of the North West. The images featured historic cotton mills, against the backdrop of the rolling hills of Lancashire.
