Award-Winning Landscape Photographer and Workshop Leader

Hi, I’m Dibs McCallum, a professional landscape photographer based in Norfolk, UK.

My work is rooted in the UK’s coastlines and landscapes, with a focus on long exposure photography and creative techniques like painting with light. I’m particularly drawn to the relationship between landscape, decay, history, and atmosphere, often exploring how these elements come together across the Norfolk coastline and beyond.

I’ve been working in photography for over 15 years now, and in that time I’ve covered a wide range of subjects. Early on, I was photographing boxing and MMA shows, charity cycling events, festivals, and commercial projects. That experience really shaped the way I see and shoot, especially when it comes to timing, composition, and telling a story through an image.

Alongside my landscape work, I still enjoy stepping into other areas, including themed model shoots in atmospheric or abandoned locations, as well as music and festival photography.

I’m also proud to be an ambassador for Kase Filters, Leofoto & Southwest Optics, PermaJet, and F-Stop Gear, working closely with brands that I genuinely use in my day-to-day photography. You are always welcome to try out any of this equipment when out on location with me.

Workshops are still a big part of what I do. I run photography workshops mainly across Norfolk, as well as in a handful of locations around the UK that I genuinely enjoy spending time in. These sessions are designed to be relaxed, practical, and accessible, helping photographers of all levels improve their skills and see locations more creatively. I also offer one-to-one and private group tuition for a more tailored experience.

Over the years, I’ve delivered well over 500 workshops… if I’m honest, I lost count a while ago. What matters most to me is creating a space where people feel comfortable, enjoy the process, and come away seeing things a little differently.

More recently, I’ve been putting a bit more focus back into my own work, spending time exploring locations in a more meaningful way and starting to follow through on personal projects that have been on the back burner for far too long.

I also organise occasional photo walks, sunrise and sunset meetups through my UK Coast Photography Facebook group, giving people the chance to get out, shoot, and connect with others who enjoy photography just as much.
