As a photographer based in New Hampshire’s White Mountain Region, Jeremy Barnaby has spent the last two decades capturing images of the great natural beauty the state has to offer. As an avid outdoor enthusiast and hiker, much of his time is spent venturing deep into the mountains in search of ideal light and awe-inspiring sights to photograph. All his efforts are focused on capturing a sense of a place, in the hope that viewers who may not otherwise have the opportunity to visit the more rugged and remote areas of the White Mountain Region can at least experience them visually. “It is my goal to create images that engage and inspire viewers.” To that end, Jeremy often finds himself hiking long hours in the dark either to or from the more remote locations he photographs. “I probably spend as much time hiking trails or bushwhacking in the dark as I do during daylight hours. It’s all worth it, to make the most visually striking images, you need the quality of light found only at the beginning or end of the day.” Jeremy’s love of photographing the natural world extends beyond the mountainous landscape to include all that exists within it too. At every opportunity all manor of flora and fauna become subjects for study through the camera lens, as well as the charms of rural New Hampshire such as town squares and covered bridges. “I feel so fortunate to live in a place of such beauty and to be able to convey, through my photography, that beauty to the world.

  1. Visually stunning! Could not get enough and checked out Jeremy’s website at http://www.picturenh.com where I found even more breathtaking photos capturing the Yankee spirit…as well as the sweetest baby deer photograph that will melt your heart.

  2. Thanks Heather for sharing these beautiful photos with us. This made my day. These photos capture the marvel of New Hampshire.

  3. Fantastic!! I am from the Adirondacks, and am not there now. Your photographs made me homesick for the Northeast. You have some stunning photographs of sunsets. I would love to know your sunset secrets, as I am a photographer also.

  4. I grew up in Berlin, NH and hiked several local mountains, including Mt. Washington. I have seen Lake of the Clouds AMC hut. It’s very pretty there. I discovered, unexpectedly, that AMC was founded in Boston, MA, recently.
