This is a view I can find not five minutes from home… A bit of sky replacement in PS and some boost to colour, and I like it. It may join the others on my walls. The joy is in knowing exactly where I took it, and when, and where to go back to getContinue reading “Scotland: Home”

Going Within
I ditched my camera for a few weeks. I was emotionally exhausted with taking images and wanting approval and validation. I love photography and it’s been genuinely heartbreaking to me that I can’t make some level of living from doing it. I’ve accepted that now. I have questioned myself every single day, questioned my abilityContinue reading “Going Within”
Frozen Bodies: January 2021
I peer into seemingly random seaweed strands and visions of sadness and horror peer back.
Rainbows and Mudslides: January 2021
Scotland’s weather is never predictable, especially once you reach the Highlands. It was one of the first things I marveled at last year after moving here – one minute the sky can be black and the heavens are throwing what seems like all of the year’s annual rainfall at the Scottish earth, and in theContinue reading “Rainbows and Mudslides: January 2021”

A morning misty hike up to the Roaches in Staffordshire, on the edge of the Peak District National Park, was just what was needed for Dan and I. I took my camera because… I take it everywhere, pretty much. The light wasn’t great as the mists were heavy and fairly low, and the clouds wereContinue reading “The Roaches”
Swanning about
For now, while the rain pours in the UK, I will continue to re-visit old wildlife images and re-edit to produce something different to the original edits. Birds seem to be especially good for this task!
Snowdon: September 2019
Last time I hiked up Snowdon (I say hiked, we took the Miner’s Track, which is fairly easy-going for the most part) the mountain decided to mess with me. It was a lovely sunny day when we set off, and yet in the space of three hours it rained, hailed, and eventually snowed on me.Continue reading “Snowdon: September 2019”
Budapest: January 2019
We took a short break to Budapest, as it is a city I have wanted to visit for a very long time. Obviously, my camera came with me.
