Slow Lens Images is a curated collection of superior media with specialist content in the areas of culture, environment and slow travel. Some of our niche areas include smallholder agriculture, small-scale fisheries, cycle travel and European Medieval history.

As a small boutique agency, we are able to respond quickly to client needs and offer bespoke content and tailored business terms.

Our director Dr. Chris Coles is a tenant crofter on Scotland’s Isle of Lewis. With parallel careers in biological conservation and international development he is able to offer unique understanding of our client’s particular requirements.

As a young business we have prioritised our very best content, which is available for order directly as prints or licensing on a rights managed basis. For licensing, please get in touch by email or using the form below. In future we will offer additional material for download under a simplified scale of royalty free licences designed to meet all non-commercial needs.

If you can’t find something that exactly fits your vision, we’re delighted to offer a complimentary search service and, where necessary, will endeavour to use our global network of talented photographers to shoot a bespoke package at no additional cost to you.
