Photography has been something of a journey for me in all senses of the word.
Focusing on landscape photography over recent years has been the impetus to explore more of the North of England and Scotland in pursuit of new work. It has made me see the world around us through different eyes.
It has also been a journey in learning new techniques. Having started in the age of film cameras and the dark room, the transition to a fully digital means of making images has been a journey in itself.
Living on the North East Coast gives me endless opportunities for coastal photography.
The coastal images stretch from Whitby on the North Yorkshire Coast and head north through Durham, Wearside, Tyneside and on to Northumberland with its wide open beaches and iconic coastal castles.
But within minutes I can be in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
With its hills and dales, rivers and waterfalls, North Yorkshire has so much to offer and as Englands largest county, deserves the title of God’s own county.
The North West of Scotland is without doubt a landscape photographers dream.
Glencoe is probably Scotland’s most famous and most scenic Highland glen. Travelling from the South beside Rannoch Moor, the iconic Buachaille Etive Mor greets the visitor in spectacular fashion.
The landscape does not come much better than the journey down the valley, passing the Three Sisters of Glencoe, before decending into the valley of Loch Leven.
The Isle of Skye is the largest of the Inner Hebridean isles.
There are countless opportunities on the island for the landscape photographer. The Black Cuillins mountain range forms a backdrop to many photographs from the island.
Stunning sights greet you at every turn on the island. The Quiraing in the North of the Island is a unique landscape experience, and travelling south from there the Old Man of Storr and Loch Fada are amongst my favourite places.
When travel isn't an option
For many reasons there are times when travel for photography is not possible, then other options are always open. It may be some still life in a ‘home studio’ or perhaps some portraiture in a somewhat more sofisticted studio.
