Britt Willoughby
Britt Willoughby is a professional garden photographer, capturing garden landscapes across the UK and abroad.
Her photographs regularly feature in House & Garden, Country Life and Gardens Illustrated and her unique style has led to contributions to renowned publications including What Makes a Garden by Jinny Blom and The Gardens of Arne Maynard, by Arne Maynard.
Upon relocating to the Cotswolds from London in 2012, she discovered her profound love for growing Historic Tulips, which have become the central focus of her studio work. More recently, Britt has been curating a ‘Platinum Print’ collection, working with Max Caffell at 31 Studio.
The collection is called ‘Absorbed by the Beauty’ and the prints are the first of their kind. The printing process is historic in itself, a ceremony for each print which honours and celebrates this fascinating historic flower. ‘Absorbed by the Beauty’ will be exhibited at Thyme’s Tithe Barn from the 5th of September 2024 to the 31st of January 2025.
