Mountains, lakes, waterfalls and sheer desire to explore and discover the beauty on a solitary journey attracted me to the adventure of fell walking. This combined with my passion for landscape photography was a recipe for success. I wanted to push my creative flare and love of the outdoors. The love began, I needed boots!

The early days

I’d found a new outlet to let loose my creative flair. I wanted the gear but had no idea. It was August 2007 when I seriously found an interest in photography and purchased my first DSLR, a Canon 400D. I’d been tinkering with compacts for years but now I had grown up, I had my toy and I didn’t have a clue how to use it. I remember the first shots taken, overexposed and out of focus. The ideas I had in my head of beautiful vistas, perfectly exposed and crisp were proving to be difficult to produce.
