An exhibition of landscape photography called Take One a Day inspired by “terrible loss” has opened.

Paul Gutherson discovered the body of a woman who had taken her own life near the River Lud in Louth, Lincolnshire, in November 2020.

He went to counselling after the experience and decided to take photos of the area as part of his recovery.

The images have gone on display at Spout Yard Park Gallery in a display to mark World Mental Health Day.

Mr Gutherson, an amateur photographer, grew up in the area and said he wanted to rediscover the beauty of the landscape by photographing it and putting the pictures on social media.

“It is the purposeful act of seeking something beautiful,” he said.

“Shutting out negative self-talk through the discipline of looking, especially on difficult days, is what becomes important.”

The exhibition, which will run until 14 October, also featured portraits by artist Richard Ansett.

The artworks are inspired by his work with a men’s mental health support group.

“In this exhibition, we have all tried to make sense of the terrible loss of life of an unknown woman,” Mr Ansett said.

“In her darkest moment, she has brought us together. I hope that this memorialisation reminds others in their moment of despair that people do care.”
