“Like all landscape photographers I am affected but what is ongoing but when it is over I know we all, that is all of the country want to resume where we left off. Our return to as normal an existence is very important.”

“Ironically, we are all apart but together in this testing time.”

“Just a quick line or two about the situation.”

“Whilst we all naturally look back and reflect at this time, its good to be moving forward and planning the year. For some it may be a holiday (I will do that soon), a new job or simply making more time for yourself. “

"If Carlsberg Did Photography Workshops...."

“It is my third year of asking now and it is pleasing to see that the images get better and better”

It is an honour to be amongst so many of the worlds leading landscape photographers and the image they chose was taken earlier this year in Snowdonia on what was a freezing cold day.

“I literally havent stopped since we came back off holiday and I am not complaining. It has been a great run of workshops and talks where I have met and worked with some fantastic people.”

“I’m now talking bookings for 2021 as next years diary is full to bursting”

“I never tire of exploring different ways to capture the landscape and my work is progressing in the quarries around the Lakes and North Wales.

It is important that we understand the landscape that we work and walk on and I would heartily recommend a visit to the museum of slate in Llanberis.”

“I regularly use Social Media and I am aware of its advantages and pitfalls. From a professional perspective it allows me to be seen by a much larger audience and I have made some great friends as a result of it.”

“Whatever your reason for going, as soon as you walk through the ‘portals’ that are set in the entrance, you become immersed into this great world of photography. “

“I never have ‘set’ days or locations and always tailor the workshops to the individuals needs. Not mine. people learn at different rates and as a teacher understanding who you have with you is vital to their progression. Consequently no two workshops are ever the same. “

“It is always a pleasure to visit clubs up and down the country but more importantly it is an honour to be asked to do so. The welcome that is extended to you is very humbling and I do my best to make the evenings as enjoyable as possible.”

“I do not use my own camera on workshops unless the absolute unusual happens because my job is to teach, not take my own photographs. I can do that at other times.”

“Someone I have the utmost respect for is Ansel Adams. I regularly refer to him but he is not my biggest influence.”

“There is 10% discount on all standard images by quoting XMAS10 and 5% discount on all panoramas quoting XMAS05.”

“We all have them. The ‘somewhere’ that makes you want to return, no matter what the weather, the season or time of day. We just have to go back and look at ‘that view’ or be in ‘that place’.”
