Liam Man | Photography

Liam Man is an artist specialising in aerial light-painting landscape photography. A Sony Imaging Ambassador, his work is dedicated to changing how we see our world, garnering numerous awards and honours including being awarded the title of "Open Photographer of the Year" at the World Photography Awards. 

By illuminating landscapes at night, he transforms the darkness into his canvas, upon which he uncovers hidden textures and contours that would be invisible during the day. Each photograph is meticulously crafted into a surreal impression of the Earth, while remaining firmly grounded in reality.

A keen explorer and environmentalist, Liam's recent work combines artistry with advocacy and offers a vision of the world that highlights its fragile beauty while inviting viewers to consider their relationship with the environment. His images are a call to action, leaving an enduring impact on all who encounter it. Notable projects include "Icebreaker", endorsed by UNESCO for the United Nations International Year of Glaciers' Preservation 2025.

By showcasing places in a new light, Liam Man hopes to shift people's perspectives, to see incredible destinations as more than just backgrounds for social media. His creative process is deeply intentional, involving days immersed in remote environments observing how light interacts with the terrain. Only when he truly understands his subject does he begin to "paint" the scene with aerial lighting rigs. A process of discovery, he loves finding unusual forms in the shadows.
