I’m a Landscape Photographer based in West Yorkshire, England. It’s a diverse region of mill towns dating back to a booming textile industry, interspersed with pockets of steep and rugged countryside. Inspired by the local area, my photography has a reputation for being striking and varied, ranging from classical landscapes to gritty urban scenes and an ability to find a ‘photo from nothing.’ I believe there’s photographic opportunities around us wherever we live and so most photographs on this website are from my local Calderdale area. I do also enjoy exploring other parts of the UK though, and try to visit my beloved Scottish Highlands & Islands as often as possible.

I’m proud of my awards achieved over the years, including 16 photographs in the ‘Landscape Photographer of The Year’ books and exhibitions since 2010 - the majority of these captured within a close proximity to my home. I also won the ‘Outdoor Photographer of The Year’ , a worldwide competition, again with an image from the Calder Valley.

My photographs are regularly published worldwide in magazines, newspapers, calendars and greetings cards. I also write, mostly for magazines, and have featured in the likes of 'Britain' magazine, Sunday Times Travel, Country Life and many photographic titles.
