His shot of his black Labrador Dilly has seen him win Press Photograph of the Year 2015 in a competition run by SWNS Press.

Well-known in the area for his stunning shots of the countryside and nature of Derbyshire, Villager Jim has built up a huge following on social media, and only began taking photographs eight years ago.
