About

Photographic Style

At heart, my photographic interests are rooted in landscape photography, particularly in the relationship between people and the environments they move through. Human subjects are central to my work, not simply as figures within the frame, but as a way of giving scale, atmosphere, and perspective to often vast landscapes. A lone walker on a ridge line, runners disappearing into weather, or climbers set against steep rock can completely change how a landscape is experienced by the viewer. I am especially drawn to moments where people appear small within the wider environment, yet remain visually essential to the image itself. Their presence helps anchor the composition, adds depth to the landscape, and introduces a sense of movement through the scene.

Photographic Approach

Coming from a fell running and rock climbing background, I naturally blend these passions into how I approach photography. Most of the time, I head out for a few hours when the light looks promising, carrying just one camera, a single zoom or a couple of small primes, a lightweight fell running pack, and a few snacks. I don’t move quite as quickly as I would without a camera, but the setup lets me travel from valley to summit at a good pace — and with modern image stabilisation, I can happily shoot handheld at what are, frankly, ridiculous shutter speeds. Now and then, I’ll plan a longer day out and switch to a more traditional landscape or hiking setup, with two cameras and a selection of lenses. But truth be told, I much prefer the simplicity and freedom of my fast-and-light approach.

Galleries

My Life gallery focuses on the relationship between humans and the Lake District. The people captured in these landscapes are not simply subjects within the frame, but an essential part of the story of the mountains themselves. Hikers, rock climbers, and fell runners each experience the landscape differently, moving through it with purpose, challenge, and curiosity. Whether crossing exposed ridgelines, climbing steep rock faces, or running through changing weather and terrain, their presence reflects the enduring relationship between people and the wild spaces of the Lake District.

My landscape photography is rooted the changing character of the natural world, particularly the mountains, valleys, and lakes of the Lake District. I am drawn to the way light, weather, and season transform familiar landscapes, revealing different moods and perspectives within the same environment. These images focus on the quieter moments of the fells, from still mornings and atmospheric valleys to dramatic skies and rugged terrain, capturing not only the beauty of these places but also the sense of scale, isolation, and timelessness.

Away from mountains I enjoy street photography that focuses on the quiet moments, interactions, and fragments of everyday life. I am drawn to the relationship between people and the urban environments around them, capturing brief encounters, gestures, and scenes that reveal something of place, culture, and character. Whether on the streets of Vienna, Mexico, or elsewhere, these images explore the rhythm of city life, finding moments of stillness, connection, and curiosity within constantly changing surroundings.

Finally, My interest in Mexican street art comes from the way colour, creativity, and cultural identity are woven into everyday environments. Across Mexico, walls, buildings, and public spaces become canvases that reflect history, tradition, and contemporary expression. I am drawn to the scale, detail, and imagination within these works, from vibrant murals to smaller moments of painted character hidden within the streets. These images capture the relationship between art and place, where public spaces become living galleries and every corner offers a glimpse into the stories, symbols, and creativity of the communities that create them.
