Short Biography
I am a landscape and travel photographer based in Hexham. I have worked all over the United Kingdom, but I am particularly passionate about photographing the landscape of my home county of Northumberland. Away from the shores of Britain, my travel photography has taken me from sun-kissed beaches in the Indian Ocean to the bright chill of Sweden in winter.
My photography has been used by the Northumberland National Park Authority, as well as numerous national magazines, including ‘Practical Photography’ and ‘Beautiful Britain’. I’ve written over fifteen books about photography and photographic techniques for Ammonite Press with more planned for 2013.
