My Landscape Photography

Thank you for visiting my site, I hope you gain some pleasure from looking at my images.

 My interest in taking photographs goes back to my childhood and being given a ‘Brownie’ camera on my 9th birthday. I grew up in Northumbria where I loved being in the countryside and visiting the coast, as well as reading my ‘Observer’ books on wild-flowers, birds and animals and the ‘Shell’ travel series about the British Isles. Going to art school provided me with the opportunity to develop my ability and creativity as a photographer, being taught by and working with some great photographers including Roger Mayne. Subsequently my passion for the landscape was influenced by John Blakemore, Paul Hill and Fay Godwin, all of whom I was fortunate enough to meet on a workshop in the late 70’s at ‘The Photographers Place’, the Peak District home of Paul. However, my life was increasingly being taken up with a growing family and graphic design business, so any opportunity for landscape photography was restricted mainly to holidays in Cornwall. About five years ago with retirement in prospect I undertook a few landscape workshops and invested in upgrading my camera, lenses and kit. I am so fortunate to now live near the coast in a beautiful part of Cornwall. With a renewed passion I am now pursuing my own journey in following and capturing the light, in good or bad weather, across the wonderful and so very varied topography and coastline close to home and across the British Isles.

My images have been featured in Outdoor Photography magazine, and on the Royal Photographic Society website. I was shortlisted for the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2020 Awards,
