Born in Exeter in 1958 Joe studied art at Reading University, after University he completed 2yrs assisting studio and car photographers which put him in good stead to continue into mainstream commercial photography.
Ansel Adams is Joe's hero, having built his reputation as a landscape photographer by working in Yosemite Valley as a warden for eight years.
His time in London during his 2yrs as an assistant were a necessary phase in his photographic apprenticeship, but would not provide the knowledge and skill required to take on landscapes.
Taking on a number of different assignments in a number of different countries the opportunity to shoot a range of landscapes became easily accessible.
Having settled in Yorkshire this region amongst other in the UK have been a great source of inspiration for what s today one of the greatest landscape photographers of our time, focusing particularly on coastal landscapes.
Joe has been involved in a number of well known books such as Land & Light along with other photographers such as Charlie Waite and regularly writes for magazines such as Outdoor Photography and Amateur Photographer.
Joe now sells his images as cards and calendars through Joe Cornish Galleries, as well as a range of limited edition prints and two galleries exhibiting and featuring the works of other photographers.

Images that inspire me....
 |
| It is difficult to obtain whether this image is made up of stones or wood with the lines giving pattern to the composition, as well as adding tones of colour and bringing out the detail in the focal point of the image. |
 |
| This shot is great the way the sand and the water adds pattern to the composition while the shells are the focal point of the shot adding colour to the image. |
 |
| This image is not the most interesting in my opinion however it is the techniques used that are interesting where a slow shutter speed has been used to gain the effect of the water almost jumping over the rocks in the water, also the perspective at which the shot has been taken giving a sense of height through the branches of the trees. |
 |
| Again in my opinion not the greatest shot but a reasonable composition here, the detail of the fern being the focal point while the other foliage adds texture to the shot. |
This image really draws your eye to the horizon while the tones of colour are subtle, so as not to distract the eye. The smaller chips of stone add texture to the foreground while the larger stones add interest.
