About

My photography journey started around ten years ago.

I was lucky enough to have a camera brought me for Christmas (canon 550d) many years ago and it changed me life.

I have such a passion for getting out in the landscape and capturing the moment. After a year or so of getting up early for that sunrise, I came up with the idea of wild camping to be on location at that perfect moment. The experience of a wild camp is amazing. To watch a sunrise or sunset from halfway up a mountain is something very special. From then I was fortunate to purchase a van which i converted into a camper. This was a game changer, then…

2020 - covid, this changed my photography for the better.

As a photographer, as we all were forced in to stopping local. Living in the midlands, epic landscapes was not an option, but I decided to take me dog and best friend Cooper on some local walks, always with the camera on my back.

I soon realised that there’s a lot of opportunities to shoot locally. I was drawn into my local woodland where I found a new passion for woodland photography. Woodland photography is such a challenge, but I love a challenge.

What I’ve learnt over the years is, get out and shoot no matter what the subject is.

Cannock Chase has so many different characters. From woodland and open heathland to trees, paths, atmospheric areas and some fantastic...

Back to Cannock Chase – Getting My Mojo Back
It’s been a little while since I’ve been back out on Cannock Chase, but I finally got the chance to head back up there and do a bit of exploring. The main reason for the visit was to scout out some new parking spots and locations for my photography workshops, but, if I’m honest, it was also about getting my mojo back. Sometimes you just need to get out with the camera, have a wander around and see what you can find. There’s no pressure to come home with a particular image. Just being out...
