Thank you for visiting my website. Living in Darlington County Durham my work is mostly local and depicts landscapes and rocky beaches . Early morning and evening light along with water are common themes throughout. Working pre-dawn to sunrise with minimal light interests me as it is a time of solitude and awakening. I find solitude in the wilderness spiritually fulfilling and photography is my way of communicating this. Capturing atmospheric images is most rewarding and light plays an important part in this. Low light conditions often experienced at sunrise and sunset can transform the scene often obscuring non essential detail and emphasising the more formal elements. The environment and nature have always been an integral part of my life. In the past I stored many visual memories in my mind but too many were lost to time. Photography can give such memories a sense of permanence and a vehicle to share that rare moment with others.

This tree was brought downstream from the River Aln during last year's flood. It is now stranded on the high water mark on Alnmouth beach. Early morning haze holds back the intensity of the rising sun. This is likely to be the largest piece of driftwood I will ever see!
