It’s difficult to explain to friends and family my eagerness to wake up as early as 3am before the masses, drive hours, walk to a specific or planned spot and wait patiently for the sky to explode with colour. All based on a weather prediction and a hunch, there could be a good sunrise. Plus I’m almost always wrong! Truth is at 3am I’m not eager. I’d rather do anything than get in the car but the pay off for witnessing, and even photographing a spectacular scene? Worth it to be honest.

Landscape photography offers what little else does in my world, a reset. An opportunity to be creative, reflect and essentially back away from everything else for a period of time. I’d argue I come back from said trip way more focused.

I first started looking at landscape photography a little more seriously after a trip to Formby with my university group back in 2012. I was cold, wet and bored whilst stood on the beach watching a few of the other, more enthusiastic students get to work. I’d always been interested in portraiture til this point. I guess what began as me trying to kill time, doing long exposures of the sea, gave me an appreciation of how hard and weirdly complex landscape photography can really be. Conditions, timings, location and composition just to name a few.

Not long after that I was making much longer trips for the sole purpose of landscape photography and settling into my preferred areas of the genre such as sunrises, mountains and more and more these days, woodlands. This little obsession I find myself with has given me the opportunity to travel further than the UK on many occasions and although they’re incredible trips, I feel you can’t beat the British landscape. Bias I know.
