Salt Fell Studio is the new nature-led photography and design practice founded by Mark Warnes, a wildlife guide and photographer based in Angus, Scotland. With over three decades of fieldwork across the Scottish Highlands, Welsh hills and the vast terrain of Yellowstone National Park, Salt Fell is rooted in deep observation and mindful respect.

The studio’s work begins in the field—on frost-hardened paths, wind-shifted moorlands, and salt-bitten coastlines. Every image is shaped by weather, light, and time. Salt Fell blends photography with careful fieldwork, creating visual stories that reflect the quiet presence of the wild places and its inhabitants.

Mark’s experience as a nature guide informs a slow, ethical approach to photography. His practice emphasizes patience, awareness, and connection—waiting with wildlife rather than chasing it, listening to landscapes rather than imposing on them.

Salt Fell is more than a portfolio. It’s a space for deliberate creativity, rooted in the textures and rhythms of nature. A studio for those drawn to stillness, elemental truth, and the kind of work that begins with being present.
