Landscape photography is mostly waiting.

You get up earlier than you need to, drive somewhere you've probably been before, and stand around hoping the light does something worth the trip. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it really does and that's the version that ends up on the wall.

I'm based in Banbury, in Oxfordshire, which means a lot of that waiting happens in fields. It's good training actually. You stop expecting the landscape to do the work for you.

Hawaii

Hawaii has been the heart of this collection from the start. The volcanic geography, the Pacific moisture, the quality of light around sunrise and sunset create conditions that shift in the space of a few minutes in ways that don't repeat. You can shoot the same ridge on twenty different mornings and not get the same image twice.

The Ko'olau Range on Oahu's windward side is somewhere I keep returning to. On the right morning it's genuinely hard to put into words. I've stopped mid-sentence trying.

The Hawaiian farewell is A Hui Hou - until we meet again. For a landscape photographer, that feels like the right way to think about a place.

The approach

Every image in my collection is made on location. What you see happened. The light was doing that. I just had to be there.

I shoot with the Nikon Z7ii, 45.7 megapixels, which matters when you're printing at the sizes these images are made for. The files are built for walls, not screens.

Beyond Hawaii

The collection also includes astrophotography from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, one of the darkest skies you can reach from Europe, and architectural work from Rome, where the light behaves completely differently and 2,000 years of stone gives it somewhere interesting to land. Both keep pulling me back.

Prints

A selection of images from the Hawaii collection are available as limited edition fine art prints. They're printed on Giclée Epson Semi-Gloss, which after a lot of testing handles the colour and tonal range of these images best. Editions vary by size.
