About

Hi there and welcome to my store here on Picfair.

I'm a landscape and severe weather photographer based in Northumberland, UK.

After gaining a distinction in Photography at university many many moons ago, for one reason or another I never pursued it seriously until about 20 years later when I slowly began to combine it with my passion for storms. I’ve always been drawn to the dramatic and sublime in nature and started chasing storms in 2007, at first with various tour companies and then professionaly from 2018 with See Nature’s Fury.

Storms I prefer to photograph in isolation, to let them breathe and allow the majesty of their construction speak for itself as they dominate the landscape beneath. I’m also fascinated by the motion of storm clouds and the myriad of different forms that the combination of air and moisture can take.

Conversely, I love to explore the relationship between landscape and the weather it finds itself in; woodland drenched in fog, valleys lying still under blankets of mist, hillsides and mountain tops receding into the setting sun. The combination is endless.

I currently reside in an absolutely beautiful part of the world no matter the weather or the season. Here there is simply no end to the amount of exploring and photography to be had and is the gateway to further adventures north. Whether it be pursuing storms across country or hiking up the side of a hill, both hold a sense of exploration and adventure and both afford the opportunity for me to stop and listen to the world, marvel at my surroundings and be at one with nature. Photography for me is a very calming and meditative pursuit.
