Cornwall

One of the best destinations for landscape photography anywhere in the world, Cornwall has everything from dramatic seascapes to ancient monuments, wild moors and mysterious woods.

Cornwall is one of the locations for my one-to-one and small-group photography workshops. The wonderful light – constantly changing at the whim of Atlantic fronts – is a magnet to artists and photographers alike. I've been exploring the county for as long as I can remember and, although I have my favourite spots for photography (like Trebarwith, Kynance Cove, Botallack and Lizard Point), there are plenty of lesser-known places to discover. In recent years, I've enjoyed delving into the beech woods at Kennall Vale and looking for the perfect composition among the 'dinosaur egg' boulders at Porth Nanven.

On my workshops, I'll take you to little-known coves and iconic viewpoints, ensuring you're in the right place at the right time to capture stunning seascapes, amazing clifftop scenery and often-overlooked coastal details. During May, wildflowers carpet the cliff tops; autumn sees golden colours burnishing the beech woods of Bodmin's river valleys, while winter promises feisty weather – perfect for moody seascapes.

Storm waves at Trevose Head

Following an autumn storm, waves pummel the cliffs at Stinking Cove, Trevose Head. This view, facing west, allowed the spray to be backlit by late-afternoon sun.

Trebarwith Strand at dusk

The classic view of the photogenic rocky ledge at Trebarwith on the north coast of Cornwall, near Tintagel. The blue tinge is due to a long exposure taken well after dusk.

Porth Nanven twilight

It was almost dark when I took this photograph – and a constant battle to keep my lens clear of drizzle and spray – but I love the moody quality of this seascape.

The ledges at Trebarwith

A different take on Trebarwith (compared to the classic view above)... this long exposure shows a spent wave draining off slate ledges at one side of the cove, creating an interesting marbling effect.
