AN ambitious project is being launched to document the entire Yorkshire Dales through photography
Local photographic artist and tutor Tom Marsh of Yorkshire Photo Walks hopes to capture the vast landscape through awe-inspiring images.
And because of the immensity of the task this team are looking for photographers from a multitude of disciplines to sign up and help.
“Whether amateur or professional, landscape or portrait photographer, we are looking to enlist a wide variety of creative image-makers to help us make history,” said Tom.
Each photographer that applies will have the opportunity to choose an area of the National Park that inspirers them.
Successful applicants will be tasked with making a photograph on, or as close to as possible, each point at which, the Ordnance Survey map grid lines intersect within their allocated area.
The project will not only map the landscape but also document the lives led within its boundaries, the industries that make their living from the land and the transience of arguably its most important industry, tourism.
On completion the project will have involved up to 134 photographers and produced 1,769 photographs, each of which, acting as a contemporary and historical document.
The images produced will be archived for future generations to look back upon and exhibited around the National Park and beyond.
