My new photo series, Black Dots, explores the far-flung mountain shelters of the UK known affectionately as bothies. These small, primitive stone houses are hidden away in the lonely wilderness of the British Isles and remain unlocked 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They have no power and no running water but provide much-needed shelter from the elements in some of the most remote places that Britain has to offer.

This landscape photography series was born out of curiosity. I wanted to learn more about these stone-tents and the beautiful mountains that surround them, but I was also keen to put a face to those who temporarily inhabit these spaces. The community of bothy-users is a diverse collective of climbers, mountaineers, hill-walkers, and those who just have a desire to get lost for a while.

I hope the Bored Panda community enjoys the work! To see more, you can visit my website.

For those that are interested, this is analog photography – shot using a Large Format 5×4 on Kodak Portra 400 photo film.
