Newsletter May 2022 Welcome to the May 2022 newsletter. Spring is well underway and in some cases, it feels like it has already left us. Over here I’ve been travelling a lot for my own work purposes as well as commissioned work. Work that has taken me to new countries and experiences. Added to my list of new visited countries this year is the Czech Republic; Georgia; Nepal and Turkey. So quite a variety of places and experiences. If I […]
Puglia Travel Photography shows some of what I did in southern Italy in early October 2021. Having never been south of Rome it was a great introduction to the area as I was privileged to be given special access to a number of different including bell towers; rooftops and hotel terraces. The work being carried out was for a commission and the results of what I did should be published in a couple of months time. My channel is dedicated […]
Landscape & Travel Photography in Uzbekistan is a small vlog with some sobering thoughts. During August 2021 I was commissioned to photograph Uzbekistan on a journey that circumnavigated the country. About 2/3 of the way into that journey the team and I were in the town of Termez which borders Afghanistan. During our stay the country fell into the hands of the Taliban. One of the team had a friend who was in Kabul and was worried about his safety. […]
I know that it has gone unnoticed that there has been a lack of vlogs since the spring. The answer is very simple in that travel has opened up. Because travel has opened up it’s meant that some jobs that were waiting on restrictions to be lifted could come to fruition. So interspersed with my update are images of what happened since it was filmed. But hopefully you’ll have a good understanding of how things work in my day to […]
This week’s episode on Landscape Photography Exploring France shows a little of the departments of Indre and Creuse. These central French departments have a number beautiful sites to visit. Now, I didn’t get a lot of time to vlog as I was trying to do some work on a presentation I’ve been asked to do. Sometimes work just comes first! My channel is dedicated to all things landscape and travel photography so if that’s your thing then I’d love to […]
Landscape Photography Exploring France Deux Sevres is a quick vlog in the department of Deux Sèvres. A department of central France that has much to see and do. There wasn’t much time to do an extensive trip here. I was out with my kids showing them the country they never get to see. But hopefully you’ll enjoy the small ride along with us.
Part 1 of the Abandoned Railways and Disused Stations of France shows what’s left of the and stations between Chinon and Loudun. France is famous for its high speed TGV but beyond this there are many rural lines that have been closed but are still intact as well as the infrastructure that goes along with it. This isn’t my usual content but when I’m out and about I come across so much of it that I thought I’d document it.
How I Recce Landscape Photography is a warts and all look at what goes through my mind when I see a scene. What I am thinking with regards to the composition and then execution of the final image. What you see here isn’t an image that I deem a success but it’s useful to at least try and make a scene work. You just have to get out there at times and see if these things are worth pursuing or […]
How I Photographed the Tulips at Chateau de Cheverny shows what I did to capture some of gardens in the castle grounds. Located in Loir-et-Cher the Château de Cheverny is a must visit. But not just during the tulip season at anytime of the year. This stunning castle is known for its association with the Tintin series of books too so if you’re a fan then definitely make a beeline for it.
In this week’s episode of Landscape Photography Exploring France I head to the department of Mayenne. This rural department in central France has an absolute ton of things to photograph. From hilltop medieval villages to ruined castles and of course the obligatory churches too. So sit back and take a look at what I got up. It’s only scratching the surface but should give you ideas.
