Landscape and Travel Photography

Travel photography and landscape photography have long been a passion of mine, whether at home or overseas. For a while now I’ve been intending to produce a blog to show a small section of the work that I’ve produced for tour operators. In addition I’ve included some photography that is held in stock libraries.

In addition to undertaking photographic commissions in England and Wales, I’ve also spent quite some time clocking up many thousands of kilometres travelling around France, Italy and Spain for various companies. One year I undertook a photographic commission with a tour operator travelling through the New England states of Vermont, Maine and Cape Cod in Massachusetts for their rental houses portfolio. In terms of book publishing, I undertook a few commissions for Automobile Association (A.A.) Publishing for a number of their books and projects, including Explore Britain’s Steam Railways and Historic Houses.

If you enjoy the photography below, you may also appreciate my writing and photographs from a few street photography trips.

Do get in touch if you’d like to have a chat about your photographic requirements.

 

Photography Courses and Tuition

I also provide photography courses and tuition for budding photographers who want to up their game. This ranges from joining a group to your own one-to-one tuition.  Offered at at very accessible prices, these make for really enjoyable and inspiring days. The feedback has been terrific.

Please have a look here if you think this might be for you.

With photography for book publication being of particular interest, I’m always on the lookout for new projects. Tour operators, book and magazine publishers can often find that commissioning photography is more appropriate, more tailored and more cost effective than solely relying on stock material.

No matter what kind of project you might be working on, please do get in touch if you’d like a chat with an experienced photographer about your photographic ideas, ideals and needs.
