Wild Garlic, East Sussex

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

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

The conditions for Sundays photography workshop at Birling Gap were truly perfect. The wind was calm, the sun was warm and the sky performed for the finale. Such a lovely group of people too. Here are a few of mine from the outing. #birlinggap #birli

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.
