Ian has spent a lifetime climbing and photographing mountains in the UK, the Alps and particularly The Himalaya. His portfolio of images reflects his passion for high mountains and wild places.

Ian is a sensitive observer of landscape and light; his love for, and understanding of this environment is reflected in every image.
The pages of this website showcase not only Ian’s images, but also a small selection of material generously provided by personal friends and others who have accompanied him on his many and varied Himalayan expeditions.

The Himalayan Adventures
Makalu - East of Everest
” The final objective was almost in sight. I took a momentary glance back down towards the rubble of the lower Barun Glacier and then pressed on towards the small col above. I struggled for every breath, cursing my clumsy body for not keeping pace with my mental impatience. Slowly the ground ahead levelled out and then, from behind a ridge, Makalu finally appeared.
Rising high above me into a clear blue sky the world’s fifth highest mountain, and one of the truly great peaks of the Himalaya, stood in proud isolation; its steep flanks of pink granite sweeping up from beautiful valleys and complex glacier systems. Comforted by the warmth of the bright morning sun, I sat to relax beside a glacial lake at the foot of Makalu’s great south face. There I reflected upon the long and challenging journey upon which I had embarked and which had brought me to this incredible place. “
