Hi, I’m a full-time landscape / storm photographer and videographer based in the stunning Derbyshire High Peak. I love being out in the elements, capturing the very best light.
So why not join me? I run a range of workshops — you can find full details on my website (link above).
A bit more about me…
I run my own workshops across Northern England and have also worked alongside other photographers leading workshops in the Lake District and throughout Scotland, including the Orkneys, Inner Hebrides and Outer Hebrides. I have led storm-chasing photography tours across North America and Aurora-chasing photography tours across Norway.
I supply landscape photography to a wide range of clients, including hotels and the national press. My work is sold worldwide, and I have had countless images published over the years.
I have received numerous awards in both national and international competitions; highlights include:
Winner: Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards (Classic View)
Highly Commended & Honourable Mention: Siena International Photo Awards — two consecutive years (top 5 both times)
Highly Commended: Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards (Classic View)

Published in the Landscape Photographer of the Year book seven times, including a full back cover image and in the special 10-year edition.

Almost all the photos are of enormous visual impact, thanks to the skill and patience of the photographer and his enviable work in progress. What strikes me most, in a gallery of masterpieces, are the meteorological photos. The great sharpness and cleanliness of shots already in themselves masterpieces, is certainly a great added value in situations of compromised or partial light and with inevitable mists due to high humidity in the air column, although in the great plains of the United States, contrary to the European plains, the atmosphere is drier in the lower layers due to the greater solar heating of more southern latitudes and the different overall morphology of the territory with the fundamental block of zonality by the Rocky mountains. This also helps the teaching/didactics of these incredible photos where the absence of low and accessory clouds allows you to perfectly admire the structure of these extreme phenomena, which in Europe, especially towards the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean area are less defined. I would like to make a small note, but that is not a criticism, God forbid, only a very personal point of view: there are shots that are, in my humble opinion, "too" sharp, clean, contrasted and saturated in weather conditions and light that to define "difficult" is an understatement. In my small way, if I ever had the opportunity, the means and the ability to take pictures of this level, I would reduce a bit the work in post-production, losing, perhaps, very little in terms of visual impact, while you would gain that really bit of verisimilitude that is sometimes sacrificed, to the expert and attentive eye, in the name of a great, stunning, show. Only those who have tried to be a "storm seeker/chaser" know how much patience, how much time and space, how much skill, strength and means are necessary to be able to capture very short moments on the tripod with strong winds and downpours of rain and I don't even enter about the great risk of being very close to Mesoscale Convective Systems/MCS and Supercells with related tornadoes, 900.000.000V lightning bolt and devasting hail.

Wow! I could literally 'favorite' every single one of your images. I'd love to read how you find these locations and phenomenal weather.
