To celebrate Yorkshire Day today here are just a few images from my favourite shoots so far this year. The featured image above is Haworth at dusk – as it’s just two days since Emily Brontë’s 200th birthday! I’ve also picked a dusk shot from the renovated Piece Hall at Halifax, Leeds Town Hall from […]
Happy Birthday Emily!
In my Last Week’s Shoot – A Brontë Pilgrimage post last summer I talked about how reading Wuthering Heights had led me back to explore Haworth Moor again some time after my initial photo shoot there ten years ago (and I’ve been back a few times since) so I thought in honour of Emily Brontë’s 200th […]

My 2019 calendar range will be going to press in just over a week, so I have a busy time coming up sorting out orders and getting the calendars out to stockists in Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon and Pateley Bridge in mid-June! If you won’t be able to get to one of the stockists then the […]
A Bluebell Walk from Ripley
I wanted to try a new woodland for bluebell photography this year and, although I have walked through Hollybank Wood at Ripley (near Harrogate) before I’ve never photographed it, so I decided to combine this with a circular walk around Ripley taking in some other woodland too… I set off from the village following Hollybank […]
Last Week’s Shoot – York on a Sunny Spring Day
This shoot is actually from the week before last – you remember when it was briefly summer? – but it’s taken me until now to get all of the images processed up! I decided to use the sunny spring weather to freshen up my image collection of York… From the station I had a wander […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Castle Hill, Huddersfield
I’ve been meaning to have a trip to Castle Hill for a while so on a rare (so far at least) sunny spring day last week I took the train over to Berry Brow station (a couple of stops down the Penistone Line from Huddersfield) and took the steep slog up the hill – it’s […]

Yorkshire Dales Workshops 2018
Our 2018 workshops season is now under way, so here’s a quick round-up of what we’ll be up to this year… This will be the eighth year of Natural Light Workshops, which I run jointly with fellow Yorkshire photographer Sam Oakes. We’ll be going back to old favourite locations at Malham with a great choice […]
Last Week’s Shoot – Snow!
Despite the wintry weather I managed to get out to take some local photographs four days in a row last week! I started on foot in Knaresborough with a few atmospheric images as the snow began to fall. On the snowiest morning, the main roads were still clear so I headed to Ripon (by bus […]
