There’s something quietly magical about meeting a creature for the first time. For me, that moment came with the red squirrel. A species I’d admired from afar but never had the chance to photograph before. Captured among the soft textures of fallen leaves and forest light, each photograph tells a small story of curiosity and … More Red in the Woods
There’s a particular kind of stillness that only reveals itself when you’re looking through a lens. The world narrows, distractions fall away, and suddenly the smallest details take centre stage. Capturing these photographs was one of those moments, a quiet study of symmetry and softness. What I love most about capturing images like this is … More Astrantia Major
Dragonflies & Damselflies are becoming one of my favourite subjects to photograph. A recent to visit to Potteric Carr | YWT gave us the opportunity to photograph this fine specimen of what I believe is a male Common Darter dragonfly. I’ve photographed Common Darters before, but I’ve never encountered one with such an intensely vibrant … More Common Darter (Male)
There are moments in photography that don’t feel captured, they feel given. This Peacock butterfly resting on spring blossoms was one of those quiet gifts. I didn’t go out looking for it. I wasn’t chasing a shot. I was simply enjoying our garden when these butterfly visitors appeared. Our first signs of spring are appearing … More Butterflies & Blossom
As the first snow of 2026 finally settles over Sheffield, I’m reminded of the epic snowfall that’s blanketed Aberdeen in recent weeks. It takes me back to 2010, to some of my earliest photographs capturing the depth and quiet beauty of an Aberdeen winter.”
A few quick snap shots of our homegrown lilies. Our garden is in need of a little TLC this year. But these Lilies never fail to come back each year and bring a little bit of sunshine with them to brighten up the garden. We’ve been a little distracted with other commitments, and the weeds … More Lilies: Hint of Summer
A short stroll through our local park. Stopping to enjoy a few moments of peace & calm under one of the Sycamore trees. Moments like these remind me of how lucky we are to live in a city where we are surrounded by so many green spaces, which are within walking distance or only a … More Under the Sycamore
Most of my photo gallery posts recently have involved me delving into my photo archives for work that haven’t shared yet. Due to life and lack of motivation I have been guilty of letting my photographs hide away in my archives, sometimes for months before revisiting them. The other day I had a moment of … More The Common Daisy
Another flash back to the end of last year (2024) when we visited York on what I am sure was the foggiest day of December if not the year. We ventured into Dean’s Park, which is situated along the edge of York Minster. The fog surrounding the trees created some perfectly earie shadows. As with … More Dean’s Park in the Mist
2024 hasn’t been the most productive year where my photography is concerned. I haven’t posted much at all, or spent much time creating new photographs, and that’s ok. I have been a little preoccupied with life. Of the photographs that I did take last year and shared, the below slideshow shows a few of my … More In Review: 2024
So the forecast was correct. We have had the first snow of 2025. Although, thankfully it has not dropped to -8c (in these parts at least). I’ve not had the opportunity to go out and photograph any snowy scenes yet. So, for the time being I shall share the last of the shots that I … More Snow in Monochrome
With more snow forecast for tomorrow and temperatures set to get as low as -8c in the UK. I realised that I hadn’t posted more of photos that I captured when we had our last snowfall here in the UK last November. I can’t quite believe that we are in 2025 already, it is sounding … More November Snow
