Emma Lavelle is a travel, accommodation & nature photographer and slow travel & lifestyle writer living in the English countryside.

I love capturing the world through the lens of my camera. I take photographs of the little details that catch my eye, shooting for tourist boards, hotels & other accommodations, and creative individuals such as florists, gardeners and artists.

I’ve been scribbling words since I was a child, blogging since 2008, and writing professionally since I secured my first job working on website content in 2010. I have been freelance for over eight years, writing editorial content for websites such as Small Luxury Hotels and Hotel Weekend, alongside work for brands, magazines and commerical copy. I recently launched a Substack newsletter entitled Field Notes.

I live in Todmorden, a creative rural town nestled between three valleys in the hills of West Yorkshire in the north of England. In a previous life I lived in Manchester and worked in fashion marketing - until I became disillusioned with the world of fast fashion, started working for myself and made the move to the countryside.

I’m obsessed with stories: capturing them in photographs, writing them and reading them. I’ve been telling stories for years, through my professional career in content marketing for homeware, travel and slow fashion brands, and throughout my writing and photography work. Since the end of 2022, I have been fully freelance, focusing on creating imagery and editorial written content for brands within the slow travel niche.

My writing work was the foundation of my freelance career, and I’ve now been writing words for websites, brands and publications for over eight years. Previous clients include Hotel Weekend, Small Luxury Hotels, Stylist, Loupe and Lodestars Anthology. I was also the ghost-writer and editor of a slow travel & interiors coffee table book.

Photography has been a passion of mine since I was given my first camera aged 10. I capture imagery for tourist boards, hotels & other accommodations, interior designers and creative individuals. Previous clients include Glebe House, Fforest, Studio Alexandra, Whinyard Rocks, Visit Wales, Magic Organic Apothecary and a print collaboration with Coco Lapine.
