I have a background in portrait and landscape art, but it's only since moving to the Ribble Valley 6 years ago that I started taking photographs of this area and the ancient Forest of Bowland, an area of outstanding natural beauty. I try to capture the 360 degree light, the unusual atmospheric conditions and the natural beauty of the area, and I aim to pass on the scene directly to the observer. I have found the area to be compelling and inspiring and hope to show these qualities in my photographs. Thanks for taking the time to view my photographs and paintings I hope you enjoy them.more
