Ian Dawson
Welcome...
Photographer Ian Dawson has a passion for the remotest regions of our planet. A fine art graduate, he has spent his career in the international media, as a photojournalist, picture editor and film-maker.
​
In a varied career he has covered everything from conflict, travel, celebrities, the royal family and wildlife for the BBC, The Sunday Times, Vogue and many other publications.​
He now thrives on a love of exhilarating cold places, a dedication to photography with an adventurous spirit -
documenting people, wildlife and landscape in a rapidly changing world.
An award-winning press photographer, his photographic work is represented by Getty Images. In 2021, Ian was invited to be a Photo Ambassador for Ponant in the Arctic and Antarctic.
A member of The Guild of Picture Editors and the Royal Photographic Society, his latest project is a fine-art book of polar images with forthcoming exhibitions, and speaking events, in France, the UK and the USA.
​
​Ian is a member of The Alpine Club and The Explorers Club. His love of cold places takes him mountaineering around the world. A volunteer with Scottish Mountain Rescue for over twenty years, he has been recognised for his work in this field, receiving The Diamond & Platinum Jubilee Medals from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
​
When not sharing his love of wild places, Ian lives in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Scotland.
