Why the most American of materials might just have a very British chapter waiting to be written — one turned right here in the West Midlands.

Welcome to My Journey
After countless conversations that started with “You should really share your adventures!” and ended with me scribbling notes on napkins, I’ve finally caved to popular demand. Consider this my digital campfire where I’ll be sharing tales from the road, hidden gems I’ve stumbled upon, and the occasional gear obsession that’s caught my eye.
Think of this space as your backstage pass to my wanderings—the unfiltered highlights, the “wish I’d known that sooner” moments, and those serendipitous discoveries that make every trip memorable. Beyond the travel stories, I’ll be diving into recommendations that have genuinely earned their place in my arsenal, plus honest reviews of the products that either saved the day or left me wondering why I bothered.

From 4,500 Stills to 90 Seconds of Sky: My First Timelapse
From 4,500 Stills to 90 Seconds of Sky: My First Timelapse
I've been photographing storms for a while now, but this one's a bit different. This isn't about a single frame anymore — it's about time. After two weeks and roughly 3,500 miles chasing supercells across the Great Plains, I decided it was time to stop just freezing moments and actually try stitching them together. So here it is: my first ever timelapse, built from that trip, and honestly, I'm chuffed with how it turned out.
Watch it here: https://youtu.be/4UzHTTeM53I
It's only 90 seconds long. Ninety seconds doesn't sound like much until you realise what went into it.

Chasing the Sky: 3,500 Miles Across America’s Great Plains
There are trips that ease you in gently, and there are trips that grab you by the collar and don’t let go. This was firmly the latter.
Over one extraordinary week I covered something in the region of 3,500 miles, looping out of Denver and across the great open belly of America — Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas — before finally turning for home and rolling back across the Colorado plains. It was, without question, one of the most thrilling photographic adventures I’ve ever thrown myself into.

The Calm Before the Storm — A Couple of Days in Denver
The Calm Before the Storm — A Couple of Days in Denver
There's a particular kind of itch you get the day before a big trip properly begins. The gear's checked, the bags are packed, and the storms I'd flown all this way to chase were still a few days off, sulking somewhere out over the Plains and biding their time. So rather than pace the hotel room and refresh the forecast for the hundredth time, I did the only sensible thing — grabbed the camera, laced up my boots, and gave myself a couple of days to warm up. Shake off the jet lag, get the eye working again, and remember which way round the Hasselblad goes.
Denver, it turns out, is a wonderful place to do exactly that.

Storm Chasing Adventure
Right, I’m sitting at Heathrow and the adventure is about to begin — this time it’s something very different to anything I’ve done before!
I’m heading to Denver, Colorado, for a week-long storm chasing photography tour across the Great Plains with Storm Chasing Photography Tours.

Patagonia Part Two — Into the Wind
After crossing the border and enduring the thorough Chilean customs examination — every bag opened, every food item scrutinised, a process the Chileans take very seriously to protect their unique ecosystem — we drove into the Torres del Paine National Park, which was to be our base for the next five days.
Upon entering the park two things assert themselves immediately.

Patagonia — Part One: Argentina
El Calafate — Gateway to the End of the World
Every great journey has a starting point, and ours began in El Calafate — a small, wind-battered town of around 20,000 sitting on the southern shore of Lago Argentino in the Santa Cruz province of Argentine Patagonia.

New York Through the Viewfinder: Manhattan from Every Angle
New York doesn’t ease you in gently. It hits you the moment you step out of JFK — the noise, the scale, the sheer relentless energy of it all. This was my latest chapter with the Hasselblad, and the city gave me everything: blazing sunshine, biting cold, driving rain, and even a fleeting dusting of snow. Seven days. Countless frames. One extraordinary city.

A Winter Wildlife Adventure in the Scottish Highlands
The Scottish Highlands in winter are nothing short of magical, and I recently had the privilege of experiencing this wilderness firsthand on a four-day wildlife photography expedition around Inverness with the exceptional Karen Miller, a renowned wildlife photographer whose expertise transformed what could have been a challenging trip into an unforgettable adventure.

A Highland Winter Journey
The Scottish Highlands in winter are not for the faint-hearted. When Paula and I set out from Glen Coe with our Mavic Pro 4 drones packed securely in our bags, we knew the weather would be as much a part of the story as the landscape itself.
En route to Inverness for a five-day wildlife photography workshop with the renowned Karen Miller, what followed was a journey through some of Scotland's most dramatic terrain, where ancient mountains meet changeable skies, and every turn in the road reveals another breathtaking vista.
