Night nominee

This amazing place was once voted one of the seven wonders of Britain. You can see why, just standing there watching cars fly past and mountain climbers ( Adam Hill and Peter Belfield) lights going up the side of the gorge was a sight to behold. I went there just on the instruction of a friend. she told me it is very dark in the evening so I took my torch I am so glad I did, because I had to do a five minute exposure while I lit up the whole gorge with my torch.

My name is Paul Carruthers I am a professional Landscape\Fine Art photographer based in Devon.

I picked up a camera about 25 years ago after a serious injury.

I used my images to improve my graphic design but soon realised people where talking about my photos held within my designs. So I decided to concentrate solely on my photography, reading and learning as much as I could.

I was approached by a Gallery in The Bluecoat Chambers in Liverpool about fifteen years ago to sell my work and the rest as they say is history.

I won The British Life Photography Awards 2017 and I have been shortlisted for The British photography Awards for the last two years. I have also had many other shortlisted and honourable mentions. Most Notably for the Monochrome Awards for the last two years.
