Jaime Molina is a photographer based in Edinburgh, whose passion resides in exploring fascinating stories within the natural world.

His recent photo series, Gatherers, uncovers the mesmerising stories of individuals who rely on resources from the natural world in their day-to-day life. From glorious gorse flowers to shimmering sea glass, Molina covers a vast scope of gatherers and their speciality, highlighting to us the almost forgotten craft.

Many of us can easily forget our affinity with the natural world – the individuals photographed in this captivating series are firmly attuned to the rhythms of nature, despite the ever-tightening grip and advancement of modern life.

 Alongside each beautifully composed and polished portrait, comes a wholesome hand-written piece by the gatherer, detailing where their innate passion derives from, and how it fulfils them.
