Introducing Dibs McCallum - Our Newest Ambassador

Hi! I’m Dibs McCallum, a Norfolk-based photographer, filmmaker, and workshop leader specialising in landscape photography across the UK. My love for the outdoors began in childhood through adventures in the Cubs, Scouts, and cadets, later deepening during explorations of Scotland’s mountains. In 2009 I turned to photography as a therapeutic outlet, sparking a non-stop passion since day one. 

Early in my career, I captured high-profile events like MMA shows and UK festivals, later transitioning into teaching after assisting renowned workshop leaders. Over the years, I’ve delivered and collaborated on more than 500 workshops, covering the genres of landscapes, seascapes, architecture, motorsport, and more, partnering with major retailers, universities, and private organisations. 

My work has gained international recognition, appearing in TV shows, exhibitions, publications, and book covers, while earning multiple awards. Many of my workshop attendees have gone on to build successful photography careers, reflecting my focus on fostering growth and community. 

With a BA and MA in Photography, my workshops blend technical guidance, mindfulness, and a deep appreciation for the UK’s breathtaking landscapes, offering photographers of all levels an inspiring and rewarding experience. 

Fundamentally, though, I like to spend my free time with my camera in epic locations near or far from home.
