Rupert Kirby is a Sussex-based photographer inspired by the coastline, countryside and seasonal rhythms of the South Downs. Based in Eastbourne, he finds daily inspiration in iconic places like Beachy Head, Birling Gap and Cuckmere Haven, as well as quiet paths walked with his dogs, Dennis and Bertie.
His photography is rooted in observation. Whether chasing sunlight over the cliffs or capturing the stillness of a coastal mist, Rupert’s work blends personal experience with technical craft. Every image feels lived-in, offering a sense of place that invites the viewer in.
Prints and galleries include:
Local Sussex landmarks and coastal views
Changing seasons across the South Downs
Fine art compositions from real-world moments
Available to order online in a range of sizes
Rupert also works as a consultant for businesses, bringing creativity and clarity to every project. But photography remains his core practice—a quiet celebration of the world as it is, shaped by memory, time and atmosphere.
For a view of Eastbourne that reflects both landscape and story, Rupert’s work speaks quietly and with purpose.
