Heading to the North West
- We travel back to the North West three or four times a year to visit family. I was born in Rochdale. I spent my early childhood in Smithy Bridge, a village by Rochdale Canal close to Hollingworth Lake. With every visit, the familiarity lessens, I feel like I am seeing the places for the first time.[...]
Winter on the Coast
- Living on the coast during winter is something that summer trips to the seaside will never prepare you for, especially on the north sea. There is something absolutely beautiful about the solitude of the coast in winter. I enjoy the vibrancy that comes with summer tourism, meeting new peo[...]
Food
- I absolutely have to state that I have no ambition to become a food photographer. I love food, I love the colour and I love the texture but I especially enjoy the fact that as my son has said 'if it looks bad then I don't want to eat it'. This aesthetical judgement is one that is made to of[...]
Dilham
- Dilham is a small village in North Norfolk sitting alongside the North Walsham and Dilham canal. This beautiful part of North Norfolk sits close the Weavers Way which is 61 miles trail from Cromer to Great Yarmouth, taking you through a variation of landscapes passed flint[...]
Walcott
- Walcott is a small village by the north sea and the only part of the coast road that actually runs by the sea!
Cart Gap
- Cart Gap beach is beautifully sandy and clean, it really is a special place tucked away hugged by a small community.
Family Adventures
- Adventures are becoming more and more about shared experiences, the laughter, the jokes, the memories and the new things we do together. My childhood experiences we always about seeing new things, simple times together. I look back to exploring National Trust gardens, camping in Abersoch [...]
Open Churches Week
- As part of Open Churches Week, the Church in my village is hosting an exhibition of local photographs both historic and modern. I have donated a number of small prints to the exhibition and very much luck forward to seeing some of you there.
Expert Judge - Photocrowd
- I have been invited by Photocrowd to judge a second photography competition, I enjoyed the last one so much! The competition theme is 'The Colour Purple' and I can't wait to see the entries, this will be a fierce competition for sure. You can enter the competition here, closing date is the 27t[...]
Redbubble
- Selling my personal work has been something I have rarely thought about, these images have been shot for pleasure and purely for creativity. With the majority of my images being commission work and a small selection available through Getty, I had not looked at my other portfolios in the same way. [...]
Expert Judge - Photocrowd
- I have been invited by Photocrowd to judge a photography competition and I am super excited about it... excited because this is a wonderful opportunity to immerse myself in the art of others. When I was told the competition theme is 'The letter S' my mind started instantly buzzing with ides for b[...]
Happy New Year 2017
- Happiest of Happy New Years, it's still January so I can say that! SO! Those resolutions I do every year... 2014... 2015... 2016... they have brought me sushi and a stark reminder of those things I am still to scared to do. I do not need to be reminded of my fears, only the plans I am to accompli[...]
