Holiday snaps show Britain’s got beauty

Creative Brits have been urged to make the most of their ‘staycations’ this summer and prove Britain’s Got Beauty. Joseph Eta, one of the country’s leading fine art photographers, is calling on amateur snappers to capture the most stunning views from across the UK.

The best images will be showcased on his website Xemival.com, and people can then vote for the winner.

“People think they need to go to exotic locations to take beautiful pictures,” says Eta, “but they forget about what is on their own doorsteps.”

To prove that Britain really is breathtaking, Eta has revealed his top 10 photographic locations in the UK.

“I was born in Cameroon and have lived all over the world,” says Eta, “But Britain is the most beautiful country. There is so much diversity, and so many different landscapes.”

To enter the Britain’s Got Beauty competition, email one high resolution image to joseph.eta@xemival.com together with your name, telephone number, email address and location the photograph was taken.
