Welcome To North Yorkshire Gallery

Every photograph sold by The North Yorkshire Gallery is taken by Laurie Smithies, a Yorkshire landscape photographer and co-owner of the gallery. For nearly two decades, Laurie has spent countless early mornings, late evenings and challenging weather conditions photographing Whitby, the Yorkshire Coast, the North York Moors, the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District and many of Britain’s most spectacular landscapes.

Yes. We offer delivery throughout the United Kingdom. Every order is carefully packaged to help ensure it arrives safely and in perfect condition, whether you’re ordering a small gift or a large piece of wall art.

Our most popular products change throughout the year, but canvas prints and framed prints remain among our best sellers. Our glass coasters continue to be one of our most popular gifts in our Whitby gallery, while our illuminated light-up bottles have become one of our signature product ranges and have been sent to customers throughout the UK and around the world.

The North Yorkshire Gallery is owned by Laurie and Jemma Smithies. Laurie photographs every image featured throughout our collection, while Jemma oversees the printing and production of many of our products, ensuring every order meets the high standards our customers expect.

Absolutely. We’re always happy to answer questions about our photography, products, framing options or anything else before you place an order. Whenever possible, we can also arrange for customers to view a particular photograph or product before purchasing, even if it is not currently on display in the gallery.

Timing is everything. Laurie has spent years returning to the same locations in search of exceptional light and unusual conditions, with many photographs captured at sunrise or sunset when the landscape is at its most colourful and dramatic. Over the years he has also photographed Yorkshire during spectacular snowfalls, sea fog, colourful sunsets and displays of the Aurora Borealis.

Yes. Every canvas print, photographic print and wall art product is produced using professional equipment, premium materials and fine art printing standards. Our canvas and photographic print products are produced under the ArtSure programme, demonstrating our commitment to recognised professional standards, exceptional colour accuracy and long-lasting quality.

Many of our photographs are available in a wide range of sizes, from smaller photographic prints to large statement canvas prints and framed wall art. Available sizes vary depending on the product you choose.

Yes. We produce and fulfil many of our products ourselves, allowing us to maintain complete quality control from the original photograph through to the finished product. Many items are made to order, enabling us to offer a wide choice of sizes, framing options and product formats.

As many of our products are individually made to order, we generally recommend allowing up to 10 working days for delivery. Smaller gift items are often ready sooner, while larger products such as canvas prints and framed prints may take a little longer. If you need an order for a birthday, anniversary or another special occasion, please contact us before ordering and we’ll do our best to accommodate your deadline.

You can view our photography on our website, through our social media channels or by visiting our Whitby gallery.

The ArtSure programme demonstrates our commitment to producing professional-quality photographic products, giving customers confidence that our photographic products are produced using recognised professional equipment, premium materials and proven production standards rather than simply focusing on the lowest possible price.

Photographic prints are supplied unframed, giving you complete freedom to choose your own mount and frame. Mounted prints are professionally mounted to fit standard frame sizes.
