LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 17, 2025--

Former lawyer turned adventure photographer John Balsdon has brought his London exhibition “Always Look Twice” at Snow Peak London to a close, marking another milestone in an extraordinary journey from the world of law to photographic art.

The exhibition showcased Balsdon’s distinctive approach to landscape photography – one that combines precision with curiosity. His images, taken in remote locations across Iceland, Botswana, Kenya and Australia, explore layers of light, texture and perspective that encourage viewers to slow down and truly look. “I like looking at the world in multiple layers,” Balsdon explained. “Nature is beautiful, so why wouldn’t you do that? It makes it interesting – it’s almost like a puzzle.”

Balsdon was originally a partner at three of the world’s largest law firms. His decision to leave law was as bold as the environments he now photographs. “I didn’t come from any money, and I just decided that for the rest of my life, I want to do something that I want to do,” Balsdon explained. “I made sure my family was fine, and now I just want to do this!”

That mindset of reinvention and ambition continues to drive him forward. Balsdon is currently setting off on his next adventure – an expedition across Australia. “We’re going to go to the Flinders Range, which is in the south near Adelaide,” he stated. “Then up to Cape York, depending on the weather. The coastline, the animals – it’s beautiful.”

For Balsdon, the goal remains simple: to capture and share the beauty of the world with honesty and hope. “The world is a beautiful place and there is still plenty to explore,” he explained. “I want people to have hope and enjoyment and smiles.”

His Australian work will form the foundation of a new collection set to debut in 2026, continuing his mission to inspire audiences to see the world differently – and always look twice.

Many people in Lebanon are fleeing their homes after Hezbollah launched missiles into Israel from Lebanon in response to the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and Israel retaliated with strikes on Lebanon.
