Some photographs you remember with your eyes. Others you remember with your skin.
This one feels hot.
A sun-baked wall in Marrakesh, shuttered windows, that incredible red, and a shadow so sharp you can almost tell what time of day it was.
Meanwhile, back in Cumbria, the rain is horizontal and winter appears to have arrived without asking.
So today I’m feeling the pull of wanderlust and travelling by photograph.
Where would you go back to right now if you could step into one of your pictures?

Wildlife photography is about 1% taking photographs, and 99% standing around waiting for an animal to cooperate.
To be fair, this one did eventually get the memo.
A beautiful fallow deer amongst the autumn colour at Holker Hall, and a little glimpse of what was happening just before I took the final photograph.
Sometimes it all comes together for about half a second.
Fortunately, half a second is enough. 🍂🦌

A beautiful Fell Pony mare and her foal from Globetrotter Stud, featured in my book Forty Farms.

If you're planning a visit to Theatre by the Lake, don't miss The Farmer's Wife, on until 10 October. Inspired by Helen Rebanks' memoir, it's a moving, funny and beautifully observed portrayal of the strength, resilience and often unseen labour of women in farming communities.

While you're there, take time to explore my Forty Farms exhibition, celebrating the people, animals and landscapes of Cumbria's farming heritage, on display until 9 November.

A perfect pairing: a powerful story on stage and a visual journey through the farms and families that help shape our countryside.

I’m really looking forward to joining the Royal Photographic Society Northern Region Print Day this October and sharing the story behind my We Are 25 portrait project for Theatre by the Lake.

From photographing Dame Judi Dench and Lord Melvyn Bragg to creating a body of work celebrating 25 years of theatre, I’ll be talking through the ideas, access, challenges and creative decisions that shaped the project.

It promises to be a fantastic day of photography, printing, inspiration and conversation.

I was stood in the damp getting this shot and it reminded me why I love autumn in the Lakes.
Slowing down the rushing water with long‑exposure waterfalls, cool air, colour everywhere. It’s real - the kind of moment that makes you want to get out with your camera and actually feel the place, not just photograph it.
I’m running a residential this autumn with Angela Nicholson in the Lake District with SheClicks for female photographers who want proper hands‑on shooting. Mountain mornings, quiet lakes, waterfalls, and time on a couple of farms getting close to Herdwicks and Highland cows in incredible scenery. It’s relaxed, practical, and built around capturing honest storytelling images.
All the details are inside the SheClicks Facebook group for members.

The main square in Marrakesh is Jemaa-el-Fna, it feels like a film set the moment you step into it.
Smoke rising from the bbq stands, snake charmers flutes drifting through the heat, traders calling out, kids weaving through the crowd. Everything moving at its own pace. Marrakesh has that way of pulling you into the scene before you even lift the camera. It’s the kind of place where chaos feels choreographed.
