Hello there, and thank you for taking the time to visit Jane Haslam Photography. Originally from Derbyshire in the UK, photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.  For many years I maintained my own darkroom, photographing the post industrial landscape around my home and mainly working in black and white. At the time I particularly admired the work of British photographers Fay Godwin and Bill Brandt, as well as that of iconic American landscape photographer, Ansel Adams.

With the advent of digital photography, then finding myself out of work, my focus totally shifted and I set up in business in the North of England, providing wedding, event and sports photography services. In 2009 I married Nitin, an American citizen and emigrated to the United States, consequently I've lived and owned a photography business in the Hudson Valley ever since.

In 2018 I converted part of my Studio into a small photography gallery called LAND, and then further expanded in the Winter of 2022 into a fully curated artisan space representing some of the best photographers, artists and craftspeople in the area. Creating LAND has allowed me to re-imagine Jane Haslam Photography so that now I can devote much of my time to the pursuit of landscape photography., in fact even though I've lived in the USA for over 15 years I still very much see the Northeast through the eyes of a visitor. 

If there is a choice my favorite time to work is in the early morning, the light is more nuanced and the land has a serenity that I rarely feel at the end of a busy day. Hiking in the dark to a chosen location is always a challenge, but is also great preparation, all I have to do is watch my footing and think about the photography to come. Working in the landscape makes me happy deep in my soul and there is something very special about tackling the photographic challenges posed by the unpredictability of the natural world. I find that I am at peace behind the camera and my aim is to provide emotive imagery that transports you into my world at the moment I clicked that shutter. 

I now enjoy life to the full in this beautiful part of the Hudson Valley.

 LAND Gallery is located in the charming Dutchess County Village of Pawling. Pawling is located in the Harlem Valley, a beautiful area in the Berkshire foothills about 70 miles north of NYC. The Harlem Valley line out of Grand Central stops across the street and The village is also easily accessible by car being located right on the NY / CT stateline.

My work is supplied as archival prints, that can also be matted or framed, archival metal prints or archival textile prints. LAND Gallery in Pawling also carries a small selection of photographic gifts, however if you have more specific needs, please call or email, I'd be happy to talk
