I’ve recently spent a few early mornings driving an hour or so to photograph wild flowers in the woodlands. It was a joy to then come across this patch of cows parsley on Saturday in Lewes during the photo walk, so close to home and equal in it

Hey all. I hope you like this last set of pics all taken between Birling Gap and just past the lighthouse. Last push to get a few more to join me this Sunday to walk this glorious route along the coast before a stunning sunset finale on the beach. 5

I’m not sure I’ve mentioned that I’ve got a couple of workshops lined up this weekend (I most definitely have). Also lots of additional dates now added to my website, including a new Cuckmere River route. You can find tons of new im

Morning all, I hope you’re enjoying the long weekend. I’ve got quite a lot of new content to share with you over the next week or so. Mostly of woods, forests and clumps of trees. This was from a visit to a Wildhams wood early last week a

Hey you wonderful bunch. I’m running two photography walks next weekend. One of them in Lewes and the other along the coast from Birling Gap - Beachy Head lighthouse along the cliff tops. This walk is one my absolute favourites and packed with

Here are a few recent pics from Abbotts Wood. A woodland that feels like an old friend, as I’ve visited so many times. A little poem too that I wrote while I was there one morning. I hope you like it.

One of my favourite photography walks of this year was certainly last Friday along the Cuckmere River. I was running a one-to-one photography session at the time and we were blessed with wonderful conditions and a super low tide. Such a delight to be

About

Welcome to my photography website. Feel free to get in touch with any queries or questions.

I am based in Sussex and love to keep it local. So many of my favourite clients and places to visit are within 10 miles of my home.

When I photograph commissions for clients and capture landscapes for the joy of being in nature, my technique is almost the same. I take a moment to reflect on the scene, searching for details that either tell a story or are visually appealing. I use natural light and often photograph at first light and dusk to get the best results possible. When out on the South Downs, I love to go out when the weather is unusual. I seek bold colours, odd textures and lines, movement and reflections on the water.
