Travel guide of West BayA lovely tranquil, sunny day on the Dorset coast, I spotted these two paddle boarders on a calm sea, with nothing around them. It looked so peaceful.

Beer is a small fishing village located in East Devon on the Jurassic Coast. With the fishing boats sitting right on the beach, it’s a great place to find colour even on the most overcast of days.

The fascinating collection of rooftops and houses in the picturesque town of Portland Dorset. The mixture of colours and textures standing out. One of my favourite places to photograph this old fashioned looking scene.

Portland Bill is the iconic lighthouse on the headland near Weymouth. The lighthouse had been newly painted and the blue, semi-cloudy sky made a great contrast in colours.

After a 5am start and 70 miles of driving we arrived at Durdle Door. The wind was howling as we walked down to the beach in the dark alongside a few other photographers. We’d checked the weather the night before and new there would be a clear sunrise so we sat and waited…

Summertime on The Jurassic Coast at Durdle Door Dorset. Blue sky and blue sea. One of the most beautiful places to visit. This photo makes me feel happy and relaxed and marvel at Natures beauty.

Storm season in the UK makes for tricky shooting conditions with a drone. I sought shelter from Storm Atiyah here in December 2019, and hugged the cliffs of the Jurassic coast in an attempt to hide from the wind to shoot a panoramic set.

I spent a good 2 minutes staring at this scene, thinking it looked oh-so-familiar, when it dawned on me that it's the setting for the film Hot Fuzz. Yarp!

We were walking around Bournemouth beach trying to find some good photo spots. We’d watched the sun go down on the beach and proceeded to leave the beach area, walking past the wheel. I saw the opportunity to take the shot and that’s what I did.

Early morning and the beach is beginning to get busy, alongside Bournemouth Pier in Dorset. The U.K. has some beautiful beaches. Bournemouth has seven miles of gorgeous soft sand. This photo makes me realise how much I love Summertime.

After a heavy night of storms the sea was still foaming and wild. Golden light reflecting on the choppy water. This photo was taken underneath Boscombe Pier Bournemouth along The South Coast of England. It makes me feel lucky to be able to see such beautiful sights.

After dipping it’s head into the river, the swan looks like it has a tear running down its beak. It was also watching me with my camera take its photo. Letting me get incredibly close, I felt inspired and happy. Protected and beautiful birds this was taken on a chilly spring morning along the River Stour Dorset.

Went out in the evening during the heavy snowfall which rarely happens in my area, couldn’t feel my hands or fingers but it was worth it.
