About

Welcome to the J Duckett Images website. This website showcases some of the work produced by Norfolk born landscape photographer John Duckett.

John lives just a few minutes away from the stunning North Norfolk coast. The dramatic light in this area has had a big influence on the atmosphere he captures in his images. Where ever possible he tries to steer clear of the typical bright and sunny shots so often seen. "I love capturing atmosphere in my images and spend hours waiting for the right light conditions and clouds. Bright sunshine and blue skies are not for me, I much prefer to produce a dramatic moody image." Once framed and hung on the wall John's prints have a wonderful way of playing with the light in a room. The scenes just come alive as the light moves across them.

John's images are now produced using Digital SLR cameras however he served a long apprenticeship using 35mm SLR film cameras before moving to digital. The experience gained means he is a great believer in getting it right in the camera rather then relying on the computer afterwards. “I try and keep computer manipulation to an absolute minimum and wherever possible no more then could be achieved in the past with careful film choice and traditional darkroom methods.”

In recent years John has turned semi professional selling fine art prints at various shows, exhibitions and galleries throughout Norfolk. As well as having his work hung in private homes throughout the UK he also has work in France, Spain, Canada, the USA and New Zealand he has also supplied front cover images for magazines and has published three books of his Norfolk images, “The Romantic Norfolk Coast”, “Romantic Norfolk” and in October 2010 “Norfolk Loving it”. John has now started to become more and more in demand for the supply of commercial images; customers include The Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and Woodforde’s Brewery.
