I wasn’t too familiar with Padley Gorge, having only walked through its woods and along the brook once before down to Grindleford. Therefore I was keen to explore this beautiful area of the Peak District and to see what photographic opportunities it presented. As I walked past the fence and bridge near the Longshaw Estate…
I’m delighted to announce the launch of our NEW RANGE Peak District Photography Prints now available at the print store! New Peak District Prints March 2020 I have thoroughly been enjoying winter and have been out in the valleys and hills of the Peak District capturing the light, sights and scenes of this beautiful area.…
While hiking in the wind and rain the other week I had spotted a location along Ladybower Reservoir that would make for a fabulous landscape photograph. Obviously the conditions weren’t ideal for capturing beautiful landscape photographs, so knew I’d have to make a return visit to shoot what I had visualised. Roll on two days…
So at the start of 2020, I set myself a challenge of capturing Mam Tor. We have hiked on and around Mam Tor on so many occasions, but I still hadn’t captured an image I was happy with. This is down to several factors, including weather, but primarily down to the fact that, in the…

The Wild and Woolly Walker and I love walking over the Christmas period! We were keen to try something new on our latest expedition too. Having hiked around the Longshaw Estate and surrounding areas quite extensively, there was one area we hadn’t ventured onto for some time, Stanage Edge. With camera in hand, here are…
There is nothing better than getting up at the crack of dawn and driving 40 minutes to capture a stunning sunrise on a cold winter’s morning. Here I spent some time capturing the breath-taking sunrise over Surprise View & Higger Tor in the Peak District. After spending some time at Surprise View, watching the sun…
Hello! It’s great to welcome you to my new website and the home of my Landscape Photography. My passion for image capture and creation started back when I was in my teens, leading me to a 15 year career in the Film and TV industry. My passion for hiking came much later when I decided…
