Welcome
14 July 2010
Hello and welcome to my website. I am a landscape and travel photographer based in Hexham,
Northumberland. I have worked all over the British Isles, from
Cornwall to the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. However, I am particularly passionate about photographing the landscape of my home county of Northumberland. Away from the shores of Britain, my travel photography has taken me from sun-kissed beaches in the Indian Ocean to the bright chill of Sweden in winter.
Please feel free to browse the website. There are articles and galleries to view, the range of which increases on a monthly basis. All of which means that it's well worth popping back every so often to see what's new.
Cloudy Days
14 July 2010 : Read more . . .
Can there be anything more frustrating than a fine day turning overcast and grey? On these occasions what photographer wouldn't harbour a desire to own a machine that neutralises that annoying blanket of unwanted nimbostratus? And yet, although cloud cover is unsuitable for certain types of landscape photography, f
or some subjects it can be just what is
needed. Woodland scenes in strong sunlight can be a mess of highlights and dark shadows, a wide range of tones outside the limit that film or digital can successfully capture. It is on overcast days that woodland scenes (particularly when the autumn colours are at their strongest) can be at their best photographically. The moral to be learned is that cloudy days aren't necessarily bad photography days, it is all just a question of having the imagination to see past the grey to the subtle greens and reds beyond.
Residential Photography Workshops

After a busy summer running one-day workshops, I'll be finishing the year by running three autumn residential landscape photography workshops. Join me on any of my workshops for good food, conversation and photography.
