I've often thought that a career as a professional photographer has some similarities to a career in the music industry. Odd, you might think but stick with me! Having photographed Mel C, Bon Jovi, Elton John, Stereophonics and the Manic Street Preachers, all in concert. I've definitely noticed similarities.

Working as a documentary photographer, I create photographs that tell a story. Sometimes I create a collection of photographs that form a photo essay; another time, it's one stand-alone photo that often captures a split second in time others don't see.

The weather tends to be a hot topic of conversation here in the UK. To feed this insatiable desire with weather-related news, I've often been tasked by a picture editor to head out (sometimes literal into the storm) and get some weather photos. However, on this assignment, I didn't expect to photograph a windswept Twiggy on Southsea Prom.

I've enjoyed documenting people's lives and sharing their stories from the moment I picked up a camera. And one subject I've continually revisited is the fishing industry; having always lived by the sea, I guess I have an affinity with their way of life. On this photo assignment, I photograph the fishermen of Spain.

In 2003, Concorde was being decommissioned, and I had heard that the supersonic aircraft would arrive at Cardiff airport as it took its final tour around the UK. So I grabbed my cameras (for those interested - I used a Nikon D1H back then), filled a flask with coffee and headed to South Wales.

West Sussex, my magical home county. I was born and bred here, and I have worked as a professional photographer and videographer in this beautiful county of Southern England for most of my life. And oddly, I've never felt the need to pick up sticks and live anywhere else!

There's always something to photograph, especially in March when back in 2017 I visited Denia to document this traditional fiesta. Fallas marks St Joesphs Day and runs from the 17th to the 19th of March, with the last day culminating in a wild night of music, fireworks and bonfires.

I first became interested in photography when I was about 11, although looking back, I think it was already written in the stars. My father was a professional photographer, and mum helped him run his photography business over the years, so I was exposed to the beautiful art of seeing the world through a lens from day one.

UK Street Photographer, Scott Ramsey travels to Seville in Spain to photograph the city's famous April Fair. During my many years working as a professional photographer, I've learned to step away from the centre of the action/story for a moment. And this photo demonstrates why I work like this, perfectly.

UK Professional Photographer Scott Ramsey loves creating images on his iPhone 11 Pro Max. "Even after a busy week of taking photographs for my clients, come the weekend I still need to create yet more images! I often leave the DSLR's behind and choose to travel light. The iPhone is a perfect choice. The quality of the photos blows me away every time."

Brighton Professional Photographer, Scott Ramsey, takes a stroll along the beach in Brighton and photographs cold water swimmers braving the freezing sea.

Professional iPhone Photographer, Scott Ramsey heads out to his local beach in Sussex to create a moody autumn iPhone photograph. I love to explore the Sussex coast, especially on an overcast day as I'll often have the entire beach to myself—a perfect time to get lost in the art of looking and creating a photograph on my iPhone.
