Nature, to me, is the greatest artist of all. I am always pursuing the light over hills and valleys. I try to capture the fleeting beauty of the landscape. These are the rare moments when everything aligns. The world seems to breathe in harmony. The search itself is its own reward.

Through my images, I hope to share that sense of wonder with a wider audience. I want to create photographs that make the heart race. They should stir memories and awaken emotion. Whether they bring joy, melancholy, nostalgia, or quiet reflection, my wish is simply that they make you feel.

Most of my work is created in the rolling hills of Derbyshire’s Peak District and the countryside around Nottingham. You can find me often there at “silly o’clock.”,

where I chase dawn’s first light or the day’s last whisper of colour.

I invite you to visit my galleries and wander through my portfolio. I hope the images inspire and move you, just as capturing them has inspired me.

I’m the winner of British National Park Landscape competition 2012.
