“How would you describe the style of your work?” - a familiar question I think? One that many of us photographers have been asked and one that some of us are more reticent about answering than others! Or perhaps friends and peers have commented on the style of our photography - how they...

Earlier this year I was approached by a couple of extremely talented female photographers - Beata Moore and Vanda Ralevska. They had just launched a new website to celebrate landscape photography created by women; and I was thrilled to be asked to join them. Week by week more female...

I think this is my first ever blog about camera gear. It's something I do intend to cover more in future because, whilst gear may not be the most important factor in a photographer's armoury, there's no denying it does have a big part to play in just what we can achieve. I've never been...

I am delighted to launch my new website. It showcases my photography in a far more compelling manner and will also allow me to provide frequent updates, articles and news and views on all subjects photographic. I'm also now including far more comprehensive details for my...

I think it would be fair to say that most of us photographers get particular satisfaction in finding inspiration close to home; it's easy to overlook what may be less glamorous locations and subjects in favour of the more immediately spectacular. Certainly I take huge pleasure in...

I made two trips up to the North York Moors this week, hoping to make the most of some lovely evening light. On the first occasion, I had two locations I wished to visit. One was new to me - a small circle of ancient standing stones on Nab Ridge, knows as the Bride Stones. There are a...
