I think we can all agree that 2020 hasn’t been the best of years. Covid-19 has really turned our world upside down, and has really made us appreciate the freedoms that we had before the epidemic hit. I think we took for granted eating at restaurants and having a quick pint at the local pub. I for one have really missed jumping on a plane and travelling to new countries.

Autumn. warm jumpers, hot chocolate, log fires and great photography. Why do I love autumn so much and what are my tips for photography during this season? Well, keep reading and I will tell you.

I think every photographer goes through patches of “writers block” and sometimes need a bit of inspiration to get out there in the field.

This is going to be a longer blog than usual, as this blog is going to be about my favourite photographers. These photographers all have their own little traits and trends as to why I really like them and their work. Most importantly, I’m going to talk about why they inspire me.

I was just happy having people like my images, and enjoyed taking them. That is still the case and always will be, but why shouldn’t we all get paid for our talents? I mean, look at what we as photographers do and pay for to get to a position where we can sell our photography. I’m sure you can all relate to these.

I am delighted to announce that I was one of 18 Instagram accounts who was selected as Forestry England’s “18 Instagram accounts to follow if you love nature”.

I am obviously honoured to be selected alongside photographers like Simon Baxter, who I personally look up to. Living near a number of Forestry England woodlands, I spend a lot of time walking through the forest and taking photography of all of the trees that they have to offer.

If you’re anything like me, you spend a lot of time outside or in the car driving to locations. Sometimes you can be sat at a location for a few hours, so what better way to pass the hours waiting for that perfect light then to listen to a podcast on photography. Here are my top 5 landscape photography podcasts.

Here is a quick guide on some of the locations I’ve visited in Iceland, what I packing for the trip and some handy tips if you’re thinking about making the trip yourself.
