Philip J Long

Hi, I’m Philip, a visual creator based in Dorset, UK. Throughout my life, I’ve had a passion for the outdoors, fuelled by the energy and tranquillity that nature provides. After years of participating in outdoor sports, exploring the wilderness and witnessing spectacular cities and landscapes, I’ve learnt the art of composition and light to ensure the most memorable moments are captured emotively through my lens.

I’m based in Dorset but work in London, throughout the UK and globally. If you like my work, let’s discuss creating the visuals for the moments you know you’ll never want to forget.

I have a deep passion for photography, fuelled by my love of the outdoors and everything that unfolds in nature. I actually started learning photography at a young age, and having spent so much time outdoors, I’m constantly inspired by its beauty - from the quiet stillness of a forest at dawn to the dynamic buzz of a city street. I earned my degree from Loughborough University and attended a high school in the United States, which broadened my perspective on both culture and creativity. Based in Dorset, I also travel to photograph in London, across the UK, and around the world. My work has been featured in various publications, including the prestigious "Windsurf" magazine.

Beyond photography, I’m also a keen sportsman - whether it’s action sports such as windsurfing to the eloquence of golf, I thrive on the exhilaration. My athletic background gives me a unique edge in capturing those epic sporting moments I've experienced first-hand, with the same energy and focus I bring to every shoot. And socially, I have a natural affinity for photographing families and friends, ensuring every portrait is full of life, love, and connection.
