    Reykjavík and the Aurora (Northern Lights) – Iceland

    This is probably the most photographed scene in Iceland, but I couldn’t help myself. The recent addition of several high rise flat blocks unfortunately obscures the sun from the sculpture for a lot of the day. One of main excitements for the trip was to see the Northern Lights. Iceland is one of those mythical…

    I had never really spent any time in the Cornish Moors before, so on a beautiful sunny March morning I went for a walk around Bodmin Moor. All I can say is, wow! There is such variety, even on the small section I went around. Strange rock structures, horses, quarries, lakes, streams and everything in between.…

    A friend of mine has recently moved to Cornwall so I took the opportunity to go and explore. As it happens the train journey from London to Truro is one of the most stunning rail journeys imaginable. The train line snakes along parallel to the coast for numerous miles, passing flooded plains, small fishing harbours, tidal walls and…

    I managed to get out of London to shoot the Eclipse, photographing it from down in Cornwall luckily dodging the cloud that plagued London! Above shows the partial covering mid way through.

    At the end of last year I visited Scotland with some friends, I had previously only visited Scotland for the day, and this time wasn’t much longer, but I did spend a long weekend in Glasgow, Edinburgh and surrounding area. After arriving in Glasgow we drove up to Loch Lomond. By this point the famous Scottish…

    After 2 weeks destroying ourselves in the Japanese snow it was time to head back to Tokyo before catching the plane home to London. Tokyo is one of my favourite cities I have ever been to, insanely busy and huge but also highly organised and endearing. The people in Tokyo always seemed polite and interested…

    Niseko For the second year me and a group of 6 friends travelled to Japan searching for the elusive powder that Europe so often lacks. The previous year was a blast; amazing snow and an alien but very friendly culture so the urge to go again was strong! The main aim of the trip was…

    This is the second year in a row I have flown out to Japan to snowboard with a group of friends from England. The amount of snow in Japan is insane, after numerous rocky European seasons it’s unreal to be in so much fresh powder! However getting out here is a lot harder than just…

    My final night in South East Asia before flying home was spent in Bangkok, I was exhausted but exhilarated after my three short weeks. I was sad to be leaving and wishing I could have spent more time. As day turned into night I noticed a beautiful moon rising above the city from my hotel window…
