Sometimes all you have to do is look up. 🌲✨

[Sam Barnwell @sambncl]

Looking for light, layers, and little moments.

Cragside delivered all three. 📷🌿

Went to photograph the landscape and ended up spending half my time chasing flowers, butterflies and bees. Worth it. 🌸🦋🐝

A few behind-the-scenes previews from today’s content shoot. 📸

I enjoyed the process of turning great spaces into marketing assets.

Excited to see where this project might lead.

Sometimes patience pays off. Spent a while waiting for this Painted Lady to settle in just the right spot. 🦋📷

Photography has a way of slowing you down.

You start noticing the light, textures, and places most walk straight past.

These frames were taken within a few minutes and every turn seemed to reveal something new.

Golden hour on the North East coast. Light, silhouettes, and moments that can’t be staged.

Before ➡️ After. 🌿
8 months on, it’s finally starting to feel like a garden rather than a building site. Still waiting for everything to establish, but really happy with how it’s coming together.

This is me, aged 17 off the south coast of Scotland near Portpatrick.

Full of life, hope and a yearning to please. I had just finished my exams and thought university was my next step….

📸Client work – June 2026

4 frames from yesterday’s shoot with the new summer cocktail specials at The Woodmans Arms.

We managed a 30-minute window of sunshine before the rain arrived. The Great British summer at its finest. 🍹☀️🌧️

I don’t usually enjoy seeing animals in captivity.

But my first visit to London Zoo had me completely absorbed by their behaviour.

The gorillas were constantly interacting. The squirrel monkey looked unimpressed by everyone.

Funny how a camera makes you notice more details.
