Escaping to Northumberland: A Photographic Journey
Northumberland has always been one of our favourite places to visit. Its vast skies, rugged coastlines and timeless landscapes offer the perfect backdrop for slowing down, spending time together as a family and capturing photographs just for myself.
After a busy year, our trip to this beautiful corner of the UK felt like a breath of fresh air – a chance to recharge, explore, and create.

The unpredictable nature of film photography
When I first fell in love with photography it was on film, processing images in my own darkroom. The analogue medium really makes you appreciate that photography is actual magic.
These days I very rarely shoot film, although I’d love to do it more often. There’s no doubt that in this digital world the cost of film and processing is a hard justification. So why would anyone shoot on film in this day and age?
