16 amazing photos of Portsmouth's beauty that will inspire photographers

His work is inspired by others, but Portsmouth photographer James Clack shows serious talent himself.

James works in fitness education by day, but is an amateur photographer in his spare time. He’s had an interest in photography for a few years (having photographed a couple of weddings previously) but has been more proactive recently after having developed an interest in landscape and aerial photography, particularly aspects of his home city - Portsmouth. He said: ‘I’ve been inspired by some of the seriously talented photographers we have locally and love the fact that photography has enabled me to discover places I never knew existed right on my own doorstep’.
