There’s something undeniably magical about the Shetland Islands - a wild and windswept place, rich with wildlife. For Sophie, owner of Shetland Jewellery, this dramatic landscape is more than home - it’s an endless source of inspiration, both for her craft and her camera.
When Sophie’s not at her workbench, you’ll often find her out exploring; sometimes hiking the rugged coastline or sea swimming. It’s on these unplanned adventures that Sophie’s photography comes to life. Armed with her camera, she captures moments as they come; a puffin peeking from a burrow, a seal lounging on a rock, or the subtle shimmer of light over a windswept bay.
She’s usually joined by her friend Mel, and together they make the most of Shetland’s ever-changing landscape. Their gallery is a beautiful, collection of moments that celebrate the islands' rich wildlife
This gallery - captured by both Sophie and Mel - is a glimpse into their island wanderings. A celebration of the Shetland wildlife that appears when you least expect it, and a reflection of the quiet beauty found in everyday moments. You can enjoy more of Mel's photos on Instagram @melissa_mayoneighs and @Ultramel91.
