After visiting Ireland as a teenager, Elizabeth returned to research her family history and wound up falling so in love with the country that four years ago, she moved into an old house on a sheep farm in Donegal, overlooking the North Atlantic. “The Irish landscapes, especially the rugged beauty of Donegal, are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen,” says Elizabeth. “I love the ever-changing light, the unspoiled raw beauty and the old stone walls, castles and cottages steeped in history.” Plus, she adds, “Where else can you find a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow?” ☘️

“I aim to transport the viewer to a familiar yet extraordinary world,” says underwater photographer Jem Cresswell (@jemcresswell). She bought her first underwater camera when she was 17 years old. “I was immediately addicted and intrigued with the new world it opened up.

Photography is a constant evolution.” She is currently working on a new series of portraits of humpback whales and an ongoing project capturing thunderstorms shot from the sea in New South Wales. “The ocean covers almost 72 percent of the world’s surface, and I love that there is still so much to be discovered,” says Jem.
