Lizzy Gadd: The Nature of a Self-Portrait Artist- SmugMug Films

Echoing the energy of her emotions, self-portrait landscape photographer Lizzy Gadd brings life to the vast landscape of the Scottish Highlands. Wearing vibrant colors, she creates contrast against a backdrop of wilderness, becoming the human element within Mother Nature’s playground. In stark opposition with the scene, Lizzy becomes a portrait of the human experience-exposed and wild.

What a wonderful talented human being you are Lizzy Gadd? I thought that I had seen it all, but I was wrong and most pleasantly surprised. Live long and prosper.

[@roncooper8666]

I love the way you introduce beauty into beauty. Selfies? Hardly. Focal points! Bravo, young lady. Bravo!

[@marjorieroman9591]

Wonderful portrait of a wonderful artist i've just been discovering tonight... A true blessing 🤗

[@alisonlewis8348]

I just wanna watch this over and over again. So beautiful and inspiring.

[@darrylmallensr4432]

Breath taking scenery and composition. Awesome job Lizzy

[@odysseaschloridis4836]

SmugMug, you did it again! Great choice of artist, imagery, mood and landscapes!

[@navreetjosan158]

Very inspiring! Beautiful. Breathtaking.

[@SmugMugFilms]

Glad you enjoyed the film.

[@frantotti9754]

Very professional, ideas, spots, efforts. everything looks perfect.

[@SmugMugFilms]

Thank you so much 😀

[@emjaynie2]

You have just raised the bar for me ... and here i thought you HAD to be photoshopped into some of your photos all this time on instagram! Now all i have to do is grow my hair ... your hair really adds to the drama. Thanks for sharing with Smugmug, and with us!

[@Baldy]

Each time Anton Lorimer and SmugMug profile an artist like Lizzy, I wonder how it's possible to create cinematography worthy of photos as stunning as hers. And yet they managed to craft a masterpiece again. I am in awe.

[@cinetoner]

Thanks Baldy!

[@SonLightSparklingontheWaters]

almost (?!) sacred !! Indeed. Thank you for sharing, embracing and living in your gift. By walking the path you show the way...

[@jcproductions222]

Every singe time I am left speechless because the quality of your videos is just over the top. Congrats guys, you make (in my opinion) hands down the best videos in your field! I am hoping to reach your level one day.

[@cinetoner]

Thank you so much!

[@SmugMugFilms]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@abstractbybrian]

Some of those images you are so close to the edge. I'm so out of balance I can almost feel I'm falling or going to slip. Stay safe.

[@dorsai]

Splendid glimpse into Lizzy's world

[@MarkRadford]

Inspiring photographs, and a beautifully shot film. Really enjoyed that :)

[@jamesmlodynia8757]

Lizzy Gadd, the Stevie Nicks of photography.

[@jksgameshelf3378]

I've been following Lizzy's work for years and paid for a year on her Flickr account around 5-6 years ago. Her works was great then and is just breathtaking at this point. I'm definitely hoping for a coffee table book of her images at some point in the future. Great video on her!

[@enslavedheart]

Absolutely amazing. The landscape is stunning.

[@jorgecanelas5984]

What can I say.... simply amaizing, the qualaty, the mood, the history, amaizing!!! The photographer, amaizing work, that landscape portraits are delicious, you got another fan 😊

[@wcwendychapman]

Wonderful artist. Very brave as well.

[@SmugMugFilms]

[@impulsemedia6675]

Top notch work Lizzy and SmugMug!

[@sergiokodemo6925]

Very good work and approach of a raw and wonderful scenery and a human communion with it. Something to reflect about in the best of our nature and where we should belong.

[@boomshiddang]

WOW, so good, so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your work Lizzie!

[@g.p.witteveen4611]

Kudos on sharpening your vision and the craft that lets you communicate that to the rest of the viewing public. Elsewhere I have read Skye is often overrun by people with lenses who trample the routes but otherwise contribute little materially to the livelihoods of local people. So you've done well to portray spaces and moments that seem little worse for the wear, and the sustained effort you spend there surely does involve some benefit to the local economy, as well, not to mention the beauty of the place you capture for all of us far away.

[@tongw7940]

You are my idol ！I'm always finding you ，I'm a Chinese student. I saw your works when I was in University 。I want learn from you ！Cause I love nature and animal too ！your pictures are very meaningful ！inspiring me a lot ！Thank you very much ！I'm in New Zealand now ，I want to take a picture like yours one day ！

[@elguapo5620]

Beautiful ! I wish I was as half as good looking as Lizzy. Thats why my radio face remains behind the camera :)

[@MS-pq3he]

That comment and your profile name don’t really go together lmao gotta have more confidence bro

[@marinatsekova1082]

[@sandyconley9654]

So absolutely beautiful.

[@cuscobirding2189]

You are amazing...!! I love your work..!!! Waw..!!!!🇵🇪🌼

[@dand3675]

How she shots her pictures by far distances like that? Seems like she didn’t use any remote. How the camera can focus exactly on her face?

[@momentarilylapse]

She might use a remote to trigger the self-timer, and hide the remote in her pocket etc. before the photo is taken.

[@jondidier2282]

You are good! Quote..."I'm Lizzy Gadd, And I'm a photographer"...You certainly are!

[@GauravSharma-ck4hu]

it's like why it ended..... soooooo caaaalming... !!

Wonderful!

[@johnm3413]

I follow you on IG already. Excellent work and great to see you in a video in Scotland. I was intrigued on how you take your photos. Looked like a cable release on the camera in some shots. Do you use a remote trigger or set the camera on repeat interval shooting?

[@stephanedenis5394]

Magnifique

[@Azhar77m2]

what was the lens you were using

[@francescocanigiula5178]

Magical!

[@CharleyWang]

I subscribed to your channel. Beauty is charm, and the highest state is beauty. Like your channel. You use the camera, I will also use the watercolor tool.

[@saddamalmasri4066]

From jordan 🇯🇴🇯🇴🇯🇴 You are amazing ❤❣❤

[@Sandy-hh5xu]

im just wondering how you get the focus right everytime? when you are alone?

[@KeeleyKennahan]

i struggle with this also!

[@momentarilylapse]

She probably manually focuses beforehand on the rock/spot that she is going to be standing on. Or autofocus through a remote using a pre-selected focus point.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Awesome

[@didahlgren]

Stunning video! Love these portraits of amazing artists. Beautiful and breathtaking! Who made the video? Anton Lorimer?

[@cinetoner]

Thank you! Yes, I shoot and edit the films :)

[@didahlgren]

You are my hero! Please keep up the good work and I am already looking forward to the next video.

[@SebastianBevanPhotography]

Awesome work

[@Willettra1n]

So inspirational!

[@barry10ish]

God woman you are beautiful you will always look enchanting .

[@irenetorres3227]

Wow!!!

[@kamenzagorov]

That it's really inspirational movie, but there is not much practical advises is it? :) Like, how did she trigger the camera or how she focus on her self? Thank you in advance.

[@redowanakash6419]

More than one, for sure... who brought all the equipment?

[@GreenManelishi]

A friend pointed me to this video because of the subject matter: SCOTLAND Will you marry me?

[@stankmt5016]

But how do you autofocus on yourself?!

[@byLizzDevine]

InDeed It sure Does :)
