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.
Lakes and reservoirs, Northern England
Still water brings its own fascinations in the form of reflections which present opportunities for symmetry and balance to the composition. These moments are rare as very often conditions cause surface movement. The majority of large areas of fresh water in the region are reservoirs and usually occur in the upper regions presenting dramatic backdrops. There are still many I intend to photograph and look forward to these future ventures. It is interesting to search out still water sites using Ordnance Survey maps and Google Earth. Some of the smaller locations such as Crag Pond and Fish Lake were discovered this way.
