This page is intended to provide a selection of short posts and longer articles about my photographic shoots in this country and on the longer expeditions to the Himalaya. I hope that over time the content will grow to become a fairly extensive body of work providing useful information, tips and guidance for other mountaineers and photographers.
The photographic content will include detail on the thought processes involved in the selection of viewpoints and timing of visits. My lengthier expedition reports offer detailed route information and advice on travel in the various countries I have visited. I also include an insight into my choice of equipment and workflow. It will become clear when reading these articles that when I am working in Britain, and when given the opportunity, I will always favour and seek out an elevated mountain viewpoint rather than a roadside or valley alternative. I prefer to shoot at dawn and dusk when the light is usually most colourful and directional, but this is not always possible and there are occasions when a compromise must be made. That said, except in winter when the sun is always low in the sky, I rarely shoot in the middle of the day.
