About

About Gill Hood

Gill Hood is an amateur landscape photographer based in South Yorkshire. She retired from a full time career in the NHS in 2017 and is now dividing her time between her equestrain and photographic interests. She has had the good fortune to be taught by some of the leading UK landscape photographers: Joe Cornish, Mark Banks, Mark Littlejohn, David Ward, Antony Spencer and Steve Gosling. She has also had the opportunity to work with US photographer, Justin Reznick

With strong family ties to the remote upland areas of the Yorkshire Dales and North York moors together with childhood holidays spent hill walking in the Scottish Highlands, Lakes and North Wales, it is not surprising that when asked what Gill would have done if she had not pursued a medical career, she answered “I would have been a shepherdess working in the Yorkshire Dales, happy in the company of my dog and the landscape"
