A landscape photographer is releasing a book to show off the beauty of his home county of Dorset.
Matthew Pinner has collected together some of his favourite photographs from the past few years.
In Dorset in Pictures, the Bournemouth-based snapper takes a fresh look at Dorset, capturing the huge variety of scenery, natural and man-made, that makes the southwestern county special.
He explains: “There are many reasons why I chose to capture Dorset images but mainly it’s because it’s my home.
“Not only is it one of the most iconic coastlines, but it is where I grew up and each place I capture it’s like I’m reliving precious memories.
“It’s hard to choose a favourite from the book, but if I had to then I would probably it would be Wimborne Minster in the mist as it was such an amazing morning. Mother Nature was on my side.
“Along with the poppy field, that image probably got some of the best feedback I have ever received.
“Typically I like to shoot either sunrise or sunset as I love capturing the colours.”
‘Dorset in Pictures’ is published on 15 October
