Welcome to James Burns Photography; We are pleased to offer a rich and varied collection of landscape stock photography and fine art landscape photographs for sale, all featuring the unparalled beauty of North-East England.

The North-East of England is renowned for it's wild, dramatic and beautiful scenery. It features two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the rolling hills of the Cheviots, the outstanding beauty of the sweeping, sandy beaches of Northumberland's "Secret Kingdom" and more castles than any other English county - One on almost every coastal corner it seems!

Using light, subtle tones of ever-changing colour and more than a little patience, the aim of James Burns Photography is to capture the beauty and drama of the North-East of England for you to enjoy forever, by offering a range of fine art landscape photographs for sale. In the galleries you will find a range of photographic images covering the area of outstanding natural beauty that is the Northumberland coast, the sweep of the Northern Pennines, the history of Hadrian's Wall and the rockpools, beaches, quays and lighthouses of Tyne & Wear.

Each of our images is painstakingly created and lovingly prepared. It can often take repeated visits, sometimes over the course of several weeks or months, to capture the perfect light that provides for the most memorable and breathtaking of photographs. All of our landscape photographs are available for sale - full details are on the Purchasing Images page.

Newcastle
(Contains 10 photos) Sage Abstract #2 (#NQ008)
There has been a settlement on the Banks of the River Tyne since Roman times, when it was originally called "Pons Aelius" in honour of the Roman Emperor Hadrian.

In more recent history Newcastle was an industrial centre famed for it's coal, shipbuilding and engineering works, and was responsible for such innovations as the electric lightbulb, safety lamps and the steam turbine.

More recently still, the city has undergone a cultural revolution that has transferred it into a vibrant, dynamic and diverse community.
Dunstanburgh
(Contains 4 photos) Sir Guy's Sanctuary (#DU004)
Dunstanburgh Castle stands against a spectacular backdrop of volcanic Whin Sill rock on the Northumberland coast. Built in the 1300's for the Earl of Lancaster, it would have been the largest of all it's neighbours, and still is an imposing sight.

Nowadays in ruins, all that remains are the lonely Lilburn tower, the Egyncleugh Tower and if you look just right, the castle ghost, Sir Guy the Seeker.
Bamburgh
(Contains 3 photos)
Seat of the former Kings of Northumbria, one-time home to King Henry VI, and a castle believed by Thomas Mallory to be "Joyous Gard", the home of Sir Lancelot of Arthurian legend.
Lindisfarne
(Contains 2 photos) Echo of Times Past

Varies from continent to isle;

Dry shood o'er sands, twice every day,

The pilgrims to the shrine find way;

Twice every day the waves efface

Of staves and sandelled feet the trace."


-Sir Walter Scott
Beadnell
(Contains 2 photos)
Beadnell is the only West-facing harbour on the East coast of England. If that isn't enough for you, then it is also one of the prettiest and most peaceful places on the Northumberland coast.
St. Mary's
(Contains 1 photo) St. Mary's Sunset
For such a tiny place the tidal island of St. Mary’s has a colourful history. There has been a light on the island since mediaeval times to warn sailors of the rocks, and by tradition any light of that kind was known as a St.Mary's Light. The little bay next to the island has always been known as St. Mary’s Bay...
