Biography
Hi I’m Jacob Riley, photographer, traveler, creator, field recordist.
Travels, photography, recording sounds from their natural environment are my greatest passion. I also create designs for products – postcards, mugs, wedding, birthday, holiday designs. You can find my product designs in the Zazzle product catalog.
My story as a Photographer
Sealing the innermost moment is part of my work. I capture with my lens what makes my heart jump, what captivates my soul. Photography has been a part of my life since 2000, when I first took a tape camera. Later I had a digital “soap dish”, and from 2015 to 2018 a digital camera of a higher class. In 2019 I got a digital professional SLR camera – Canon 1300D. After traveling to Scandinavia in 2019, I started plans to return to analog photography. With great enthusiasm I bought full equipment for an amateur photo lab, as well as several cameras for 35 mm and 120 mm tapes. The first few tapes I showed were of poor quality, but the exposure of each pose was correct!
Photography shows us the world in a unique and attractive way. As a landscape photographer, I have always looked for unique places to photograph.
My story as a Designer
I started creating product designs in 2016 to publish my captured landscapes on postcards and other products. Over the following years, my passion for creating designs grew and I created several new stores where I started posting products for holidays and occasions.

Nomadic Soundscape
Recording sounds on location
Nomadic Soundscapes is my latest creative project – recording sounds from the location I visit, natural soundscapes, field sounds and much more that I hear. My project is not quite new, but since 2023 I have started recording with professional equipment in 24 and 32 bits. You can find my library of recordings from the link below.
