Sunset in The Alps, Trient Glacier

Portraits of the Landscape

Based in the Eden Valley, I have been photographing my surroundings for over 40 years. My photography ranges from landscapes, nature and travel to commissions of interesting buildings.

As an experienced mountaineer I have travelled extensively and led expeditions in the British Isles, Greenland, Iceland, The European Alps and Nepal and my photography reflects my passion for the outdoors.

It has been my good fortune to explore many beautiful places in the world.  I am inspired by lighting and all its grandeur and I am passionate about all the many colours that result.  I have always felt it is a privilege to visit remote places.  I try to capture images that reflect the essence of these locations and enjoy communicating this to other people.

My latest work has been inspired by the idea of playing with landscape photography traditions.  I am interested in taking ‘portrait’ photographs of ‘landscape’ scenes and the twist in dynamic it creates. 

Currently in my portfolio are images of Cumbria and the Lake District, The British Isles, Scotland, Nepal, The European Alps, Greenland and Iceland.
 
I have exhibited and sold photographs at the Langwathby Art Andrew Barbier ImagesMart for the last seven years and have been commissioned to take photographs of churches in the Eden Valley.  My photographs of the Eden Valley have also been used to promote local accommodation.
