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.

I live in a quiet part of Suffolk in the heart of East Anglia. It is an area that I love to photography but my work takes me all over the country and to many parts of the world. Working on interesting projects with clients from the National Trust to NEOM. The resulting images have been widely published, you can see some examples here.
As an experienced photography tutor I have been running 1-2-1 and group workshops in East Anglia for almost ten years. I also run regular photography workshops for the National Trust, Forestry Commission and Royal Photographic Society. Further afield I lead several photography tours a year to stunning locations around the world including Iceland, Namibia and Madeira.

At the moment my time is mainly taken up by work on a second guidebook for Fotovue, Photographing Essex but I have also been busy planning some exciting new workshops. Introducing new workshops involves a lot of time spent planning, scouting and photographing locations over multiple visits but I am gradually expanding my workshop range to include more of the stunning landscapes around the British Isles and hopefully beyond.
