Professional, Documentary and Press Photographers in Derbyshire
Derbyshire is a huge county for the documentary photographer or photojournalists as there are hundreds of towns and villages in Derbyshire and the Peak District National Park. In the northern part of the region, the towns and villages are often quite isolated and built of the abundant native stone. Radical Images intends to cover as much of these areas as we can.
Our services include photojournalism, press and documentary photography stock pictures and picture library, fine art prints, remote wire service as well as immediate image download available through our photo agency or direct upload to your server.
Our approach to photography is both professional and refreshing, resulting in images that speak volumes. For businesses we can provide "multimedia slide shows" or "photography presentations" or picture books giving your clients and you fabulous records of important events over the years; as well as fine art prints for reception walls or gallery.
The southern half of the region consists mostly of rich agricultural lowlands, through which flow the Rivers Dove, Derwent and the Trent. Stone is generally a rarity so its villages tend to consist of cottages built of red brick with occasional half timbered walls and thatch roofs, as opposed to the whitish grey stone cottages of the limestone plateau or the warm gritstone cottages on the moors and shale valleys further north. Each village offers a variety of architectural styles, from manor houses to simple terraced cottages.
Some of the villages in this area of Derbyshire lie on the banks of the River Trent and came into being when Anglo Saxon adventurers sailed up the river over 1000 years ago. Later, castles were built along the Trent as it was seen as the boundary between the civilized south and the more barbarian north. These are long gone but communities grew up around them that still exist, like at Melbourne, now a large vibrant southern Derbyshire village.
Many of the villages were mentioned in Domesday. They mostly belonged to the King with an individual placed in charge. They were mostly simple agricultural communities that consisted of a few farmsteads, a church and a mill. Some were owned by the Church but many of these were passed onto great families at the time of the dissolution of the monastries. Many of these families have remained associated with the villages for centuries and some villages were built to serve the needs of great estates that built up.
Many of our present day villages have very unique and varying characters. There is nearly always some focal point, whether it be a school, church, pub, village hall or just a shop. Many have all these and much more. Most have plenty of community spirit, sometimes dampened by the loss of a village school, or the closing of post office or shop. Generally, villagers will get together for special occasions like Well Dressing or an annual fete.
