I am an Isle of Man based photographer with a passion for the great outdoors, capturing enduring images and exploring incredible wild places.

A beautiful summer evening at the tholtan ruins of Killabregga at Tholt-Y-Will. Eaten alive by insects but anything worth doing usually comes at some sort of cost 😅 #iom #isleofman #landscapephotography

A calm morning at Tewet Tarn in the northern lakes provides some nice light and views of the massive peaks of Skidaw and Blencathra #lakedistrict #landscapephotography #lakedistrictuk

This is a location that I’ve visited many times before but always struggled to get a shot I’m fully happy with. This is my latest attempt...I’m still not convinced it’s quite there yet. No doubt I’ll return to this spot to try again in the not so distant future 😅 #iom #isleofman

A patch of pungent Wild Garlic looking fantastic in Ballaglass Glen. The forests just look fantastic at this time of year 🤩

Ashness Bridge on the eastern side of Derwent Water is probably the most photographed bridge in the entire Lake District. It’s not too difficult to see why! Lovely spot and had it all to myself! 🙌#lakedistrict #lakedistrictuk #landscapephotography

Ballaglass Glen has taken a bit of a beating from storm damage in recent years but it’s still a fantastic location that looks particularly beautiful at this time of the year #isleofman #iom #landscapephotography

Early morning light shines on Derwent Water & the little town of Keswick as seen from the summit of nearby Latrigg fell. Sunrise is so painfully early at this time of year that unsurprisingly I had the entire hilltop view all to myself! Spectacular🤩 #lakedistrict #lakedistrictuk

The bluebells putting on a good show in the forests across the island this spring. Love this time of year – the woodlands just feel vibrant and bursting full of life! #iom #isleofman #landscapephotography 🌿

Blencathra mountain dominates the skyline above little Tewet Tarn on a beautiful early morning in the northern Lake District. Lovely location! 🫶 #lakedistrict #landscapephotography #lakedistrictuk

The sunrises over Derwent Water and the town of Keswick in the northern Lake District as seen from the summit of Catbells. One of the best views in the Lake District and a magical way to start any day 🌄 #landscapephotography #lakedistrict

The tholtan ruins of Ballaskella in the Tholt-Y-Will valley catch the first rays of morning light breaking over the hills. This is an image which I’ve had on my to do list for a while now having failed on three earlier attempts to get the shot in the bag 😅 #iom #isleofman

The standing stones of Cashtal yn Ard catching some lovely early morning sunlight as an angry looking squall approaches over the Corrany Valley. I’d highly recommend watching a sunrise at this mystical and gorgeous spot 🤩 #iom #isleofman #landscapephotography

The sea gently washes against the shoreline at Smeale Beach on a calm evening. The dragged exposure being used here to soften the water and capture lines in the waves. A 16x9 crop used to cut out the dead space at the top and bottom of the image 🌅 #iom #isleofman

The clouds light up with some beautiful shades of colour as the sun rises over the distant hills of the Lake District. Captured at 90mm with my telephoto lens with not another soul in sight! 🌅 #iom #isleofman #landscapephotography

A carpet of snow covers Tholt-Y-Will glen as the late afternoon sunshine side lights the summit of Slieau Freoaghane in the distance. I'm quite looking forward to some calmer, warmer and longer days coming our way soon! #iom #isleofman #landscape

The lone tree at the Gooseneck silhouetted by the magnificent Winter Circle area of the night sky. As we push on into Spring this part of the night sky will soon disappear below the horizon. Enjoy it while you still can! ✨ #iom #isleofman #astrophotography

A light dusting of snow sits on the slopes of Carraghan hill at the tail end of winter. Small fleeting windows in the thick cloud let some lovely pockets of light into the East Baldwin valley down below #iom #isleofman #landscapephotography

The sun breaks over the hills flooding the upper Tholt-Y-Will valley and Druidale area with lovely golden light. It’s been a pretty dire winter period for photographers! Roll on spring and some better weather hopefully! 🙏 #iom #isleofman

Maughold lighthouse perched high up on the cliff line welcomes the first sunlight on a blustery winter’s morning. One of my favourite places to sit and watch the sunrise 🌅 #iom #isleofman #landscapephotography

A light snow shower blows over the northeast coastline of the Island as a soft early morning glow lights up the patchwork of fields along the shore. An opportunistic image captured with my telephoto at around 80mm #iom #isleofman #landscapephotography
