landscape & outdoor photographer
Photography is full of strange and seemingly meaningless terms and phrases that can baffle even experienced photographers.

When I first began working at Practical Photography magazine, I just couldn’t get my head around landscape photography. Portraiture, documentary and even motorsport were fine, but when it came to landscapes I was never happy with the results I produced.

Here’s my portrait of Berghaus sponsored climber Mick Fowler on the cover of February 2015 issue of Trail magazine. There’s an exclusive interview and additional photography inside.

Fake snow was sprinkled over Mick to create the idea he had just stepped off a mountain with his briefcase.
