I’m a professional landscape photographer, something that happened quite by accident
Photography began as a hobby several years ago and as my passion for landscape photography grew I decided to focus on photographing my local area where I could spend more time behind the camera and less time behind the wheel. Close proximity and local knowledge meant I could respond to changing weather, learn quicker from my mistakes and build up both my portfolio and experience by returning to locations again and again.
The joy of landscape photograph for me is the being there. Being a part of nature and witnessing its wonders. Those wonderfully unpredictable conditions and fleeting moments of light that make the heart beat a little faster. The thrill of watching the first light of the day creep over the frozen stillness of a wintry landscape, while the air and my fingers tingle with the cold, and the challenge of capturing the atmosphere of moments like this is what it is all about.
