Landscape nominee

At the top of Catbells looking over Derwentwater in the autumn. I set the camera up to face back toward the lake and the trail that had led me to the top of this peak.

Clouds were just beginning to form around the top of Catbells, so using a big stopper filter, I used a long exposure to create the drama of this moving cloud, as well as the heavier clouds above. Catbells is a popular hiking spot, and I was grateful that those making the descent stayed relatively still during this time, as I was able to capture their silhouettes through the cloud, creating an eerie effect.

Having grown up in the beautiful county of Cornwall, I have had the fortune to see incredible landscapes, seascapes, sunrises and sunsets.

With eleven years of being a Professional Photographer in Cornwall under my belt, I bring dedication and creativity to my work, as well as a determination to create something that has never been seen before.

For me, photography is not simply capturing  what is laid out in front of you, it is capturing what is not in front of you, a unique perspective that shows the true personality of the subject. To put it another way, it is not just seeing what is beautiful, it is understanding why it is beautiful and knowing how to best get that mood and feeling across on to electronic equipment.
