On my many waterfall hunting sessions, This one was a little difficult. To grab this image meant walking through the slippery rocks of West Beck, which later turns in of the River Esk. To the other side then a precarious climb down the rock at the waterfall level.

Its not very often the weather is on my side, funnily enough this morning was no different. I was aiming to capture the blast furnace at British Steel, Redcar.

I must of walked this path a million times literally speaking. My children have played in the beck and i’ve watched dippers, wagtails bob between rocks catching insects as they go.

Growing up in neighbouring Carlin How, Skiningrove beach has featured many times throughout my life for varying reasons. Has a teenager I used to run up and down the length of the beach, in my later teen years into adult life I’ve watched deer, Barn Owls and the Fulmars nestled away on the man made cliff.

Scarborough is my go to place when I need the escapism from the riggers of everyday life. I find the peaceful nature of the sea front, seagulls dive bombing hoping for a quick bite, the sandy beach a regular scartopia if you will.

Simply to walking around the streets, looking, waiting, visualising, like nothing else matters in the world. Giving time for my mind to take a breathe of crisp fish and chip tainted sea breeze. Feeling the pressure disappear with a wave of relaxation.

On Wednesday the 23rd of November 2022 because an end of era on Teesside. I’ve grown up in the shadow of the blast furnace at Redcar. It always been on the skyline for the whole of my life. Love it or hate it its been a prominent structure in Teesside’s and Redcar’s history and it was ranked second largest in Europe.

This one was a little difficult to capture. I’ve tried serval times but each time the pool in front was full of children and adults alike swimming.

This is somewhere I’ve wanted to go for a little while, new locations for my photography workshops are always at the forefront of my mind.

The still quiet breeze, the silent movement of a ship drifting in to the river Tees. A tern floating on a thermal over head as a flock of Oyster Catchers scream down the beach. South Gare is one of the areas on the North East coast that makes you feel alive. Its steeped in local history and with the fisherman’s huts ad the fish port or Paddy’s Hole its very photogenic.

I love Robin Hoods Bay, It started with a random night out during the national lockdown. I need to point out I was by myself….. just a random night! Spooky as it was with no one around it was nice to be capturing the the empty street and it encouraged my passion towards the village.

With Covid lockdown feeling more like tie down, I decided to saddle up the camera bag and tripod and head out. Taking advantage of the dark nights.

How fantastic to be back teaching after such a long time waiting of the Covid rules relaxing. A whole new group too, especially in Staithes, such a photogenic little seaside village in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.

Been contacted straight from our website always brings a smile to my face as we host and design it ourselves. Lee from C.J.Leonards contacted just that way.

Commercial blogs aren't something we get chance to do very often, not because we don't get the jobs, but the images we take tend to have a need to be protected to safe guard the release of a product or a business.

Emma had never modelled before, but proved to have the confidence to stand in front of a group and have her picture taken. It takes quite a bit of guts to stand and pose in front of three photographers especially if you haven't done it before - Well Done Emma!

Oak Road Motor Factors have been established for a very long time and where in need of some cool new Commercial images and a website.

Today we popped over to Whitby to meet a wedding client and to start the commercial photography for Oak Road Motor factor/Whitby Motor factors. Of course been a beautiful day we had to pop into the Whitby Tea rooms for treacle tart and ice cream.

Supreme plastics contacted us of our website asking us to take some new product images for there promotions material.Based all over the world their, Whitby, North Yorkshire base seems a little out of place, but been local to us it was ideal.

Thank goodness the weather held out. With all the rain we’ve had recently I was worried I wouldn’t be able to run this street photography workshop.

Some places you get pleasurably bored of, the infinity bridge is one such place for me. Ive taught night photography there for over 12 years.
