Basked in the glow of the sun's final rays, I captured the magical essence of White Coppice at sunset, gazing down the tranquil Golden Stream. The golden light transformed the landscape into a breathtaking vision of serenity, with every detail illuminated in a soft, warm hue.

Hello there,

I'm currently working on an exciting documentary project exploring the rich history of Rivington and the West Pennine Moors, and I'm in search of a knowledgeable Pagan who can speak about Brigantia, the ancient goddess worshipped by the Brigantes in Britain. If you have a passion for this subject and feel comfortable speaking on camera, I would love to hear from you.

In addition to this, I'm also looking for talented musicians, poets, artists, and performers who can help bring the mystical themes of ancient Britain to life. Specifically, I'm seeking individuals who can perform at Rivington or other locations that align with the project's overall theme. If you have a passion for wicca, folk, and enchanting tales of ancient Britain, please get in touch.

And finally, I'm also interested in speaking with historians and forgers who can offer unique insights into the fascinating history of this region. If this sounds like you, please reach out and let's discuss how you can be a part of this exciting project.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from all of you soon.

I was at Rivington filming for the video I'm creating and....

As the sun lay veiled behind a curtain of clouds, I thought I'd never see the grandeur of a sunset over Rivington Pike. Then, the sun slipped through the cloudy shroud and cast its radiant beams across the horizon. I ascended the Pike, I captured a photograph of this wondrous sight, pondering what the ancient Neolithic and pagan minds would have made of such mystifying phenomena. Nature's ever-changing beauty does connect to the soul, and leave us all in its enigmatic wake.

As I ventured out to film my new Rivington documentary, I couldn't help but be struck by the breathtaking beauty of the ancient woodland.

I was captivated by the way the sun's golden rays filtered through the leaves, creating a dazzling display of light and shadow. The light danced and sparkled, illuminating the lush green foliage and casting a warm glow over everything in its path.

It was as if time had stood still in this enchanted woodland, and I found myself lost in a world of natural wonder.

In the twilight of Rivington Pike, there stands a tower, wrought of ancient stone. Within its walls, the cooing of pigeons echoes endlessly, a mournful symphony that fills the air.

Here, love and loss mingle in equal measure, and the tower's haunted halls bear witness to countless whispered confessions and bittersweet goodbyes.

Amidst the wildflowers and the distant song of birds, the tower seems to teeter on the edge of reality, an otherworldly beacon calling out to those who long for a taste of the sublime.

And so, the pigeon tower at Rivington Pike remains, an enigmatic reminder of the beauty and tragedy that lies at the heart of all things.

Yesterday, I ventured out to the breathtaking Cockerham sands, with my camera gear and to capture a moment of beauty. Id already been filming at the coast for five hours, and now the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon, casting a warm, golden light across the sky.

I quickly set up my tripod and began to capture the stunning scenery before me. Waves crashed against the shore, sending a gentle mist into the air, while the sand shimmered in the fading light. But it was the sky that truly stole the show.

Hues of orange, pink and purple painted the sky, as the sun's last rays illuminated the clouds in a spectacular display of colour.

And now, as I look back at the images I captured, I am filled with a sense of awe and gratitude for the natural beauty that surrounds us. This particular photograph, with its soft focus and gentle hues, captures the essence of that moment, hinting at the magic and wonder that is yet to come.

This photo will be used in my upcoming video about Cockerham sands, which has an eerie but beautiful history and atmosphere.

Capturing babies in photography requires a deep understanding of the art of composition, lighting, and visual storytelling. When shooting newborns, it is essential to approach each session with a sense of empathy, patience, and sensitivity to the unique needs of the child. A natural approach to baby photography involves creating a calm, welcoming environment that allows the baby to feel at ease and enables them to express their authentic selves. It's important to use natural light to enhance the softness and delicacy of the baby's skin while avoiding harsh, artificial light sources that can be overwhelming. Capturing genuine and spontaneous moments is key to creating captivating images that reflect the baby's personality and unique character. By mastering the art of natural baby photography, a professional photographer can produce a portfolio of stunning images that parents will cherish for years to come.
