A bit about me

I’m a freelance graphic designer and photographer, who loves the outdoors. I’ve achieved success in both British Wildlife Photography Awards and the Take a View Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards; that might just mean I’m lucky as opposed to being any good! but have a route around my site and judge for yourself.

1. Up high, down low

Landscape photography from a tripod to a drone 400 feet high. A mix of images from the Lake District (one of my favourite destinations) and other places around the UK. I’ll talk about my approach to landscape photography, how to make the most of a scene and my move into drone photography and video.

2. Easy wildlife photography

Featuring wildlife photos and video from around the UK. I used to think you needed to be a real wildlife expert (which I’m not) to achieve great images. This talk demonstrates how, with only basic skills, you can achieve great results.

From my back garden to uninhabited islands, you’ll see an array of species, most of which are pretty easy to photograph. Camera settings accompany each image to give you an idea of what it would take to capture a similar shot.

3. The Full Monty

Predominantly wildlife and landscape photography, but also including drone, aviation, macro and architectural images, this talk aims to have something for everybody. It also includes videos taken with a DSLR and drone.

You’ll hear the stories behind the images, what I was hoping to achieve and how I went about it. As a helpful guide, camera settings accompany each image.
