    Enisa Huso
    I am a portrait and street photographer hailing from the picturesque landscapes . My journey in the world of photography began in 2015, and since then, I have honed my skills in capturing the essence of individuals, families, and the captivating beauty of landscapes. My lens is a storyteller, weaving narratives through each image I create.

    My passion lies in immortalizing the genuine emotions that grace the faces of my subjects. A photograph, to me, is more than just a frozen moment in time; it's an intricate tapestry of feelings and memories.
    Each glance at my work is intended to transport viewers to the exact moment the shutter clicked, forming an unbreakable connection to the past.

    I was in a hide near Bradford, West Yorkshire. It was the summer of 2022, early morning but still really warm. Originally I was waiting for a pair of kestrels that was in the area but a family of 3 greater spotted woodpeckers turned up, mother, father and the young so I took the opportunity to get shots of the family, the young one posed for about 5 seconds before taking off, just enough time for me to get this shot. It's not often I see woodpeckers so it's a great sight to see. Editing wise

    I set off early that morning with the intention of taking the classic shot of Winnats Pass, looking down into Castleton, but soon realised I didn't have a lens wide enough to do it justice. I sat for an hour or 2, taking in the sunrise and the beauty of the cloud inversion, until I noticed a lady walking her dog on the fell opposite. I took out my long lens and took this shot with the intention of capturing the lady, the morning light and the beauty of the cloud inversion. Hopefully I did this

    I'm a fashion and wedding photographer, living in beautiful Wigan. This photo was taken in a very unexpected situation. Forgot to mention, I'm a drone pilot too. I went to search for some nice locations to capture some drone shots to create a video. Not knowing where to go I just drove my car and suddenly I saw this farm and the time was around 4.30pm I guess. Perfect lighting! Wherever I go,as a habit I take my camera with me. I jump out of the car and took some snaps around. Surrounding , beau

    Title or Location: Haigh Hall - Lower Plantations
    This is a small secluded waterfall hidden in the lower plantations of Haigh Hall in Wigan. The waterfall only flows after persistent rainfall making it hard to get a good photograph. I'd had several unsuccessful visits, where the light and flow just wasn't right, before capturing this image on a mid-afternoon, midweek visit. It was taken on Wednesday 16th November around 15:00 so it just goes to show you can still get good images outside of the golden hour. Canon R - 24-105 f4 L @24ISO 100
