My three images are below and here is a link to all of the other finalists – some lovely shots for inspiration: […]
– Back to prints Solo on Snowdon A winter traverse of Crib Goch and Crib Y Ddysgl is a magnificent outing in any weather but to undertake it in sunshine is a rare and wonderful treat. On this morning I had walked up from Pen Y Pass under a clear sky, full of hope and […]
This year is the 40th anniversary of the Kendal Mountain Festival and I was delighted to hear that we have had two films selected for the 10 day extravaganza. When I was growing up Kendal was the only Mountain Film Festival, at least that I had ever heard of. As soon as I could drive […]
CURRENT SITUATION We are very much open for business and have been fortunate enough to have been working for much of the lockdown period as key workers documenting the pandemic here in Wales.

I have been doing some drone filming from ships this weekend, working on a project for Stena Line in the Irish Sea. Drone filming from ships is notoriously difficult as it involves taking off and landing from a moving target. I was glad of the power that our DJI Inspire 2 provides as I flew […]
I got back last night from Brazil after what felt like a pretty epic trip. We had a lot to contend with in terms of fuel strikes, blockades, riots, locusts and of course the climbing! We put a new route up on a beautiful mountain with the croc pith being 8a and the whole thing […]
