Ian has been a photographer for over 25 years, growing up in Cambridgeshire and then moving to Derbyshire in 1995. It is this move that has prompted a more passionate approach to photography and a desire to capture scenes for others to enjoy.

“It wasn’t until I moved to Derbyshire that I was able to appreciate just what variety and beauty we have on our doorstep. The UK has some of the most stunning landscapes in the world, but as residents, we sometimes overlook the obvious.”

If you are a local resident of the area, or just visiting, Ian’s aim is to provide you with images that will give you a memory of the places and the countryside.

“Living in Bonsall, on the edge of the Peak District, puts me within walking distance of some great photographic opportunities, and of course my portfolio has many images taken in and around Bonsall. It is a testament to the wide variety of subjects that can be found in a very local area. People, places, flowers and wildlife, all play an important part in our locality, and I take a lot of pleasure in recording those images.”

Most of his landscape images are captured in the morning or evening, when the light is warm and the features of the area are more prominent. There are always exceptions of course, and a stormy day in autumn can provide great opportunities to record images that are hard to beat. Ian will often visit the same place many times over, waiting for the right conditions, and it is this dedication that enables him to capture the stunning images you can see on this web site.

“I hope you enjoy these images. They are my personal view of the area where I live, and represent the way I want to portray it to you ”
