I grew up in Huddersfield, in the heart of the textile industry, and spent many of my childhood days playing amongst the derelict mills that remained. After travelling extensively with my camera, I returned to my hometown, drawn back by the rugged Pennine landscape.
My images are the result of many hours researching 18th and 19th century maps and roaming the ancient footpaths, bridleways and turnpike roads of The Colne and Calder Valleys, in all weathers, waiting patiently until light, wind and weather allow me to capture the right moment. Each image is presented as it was captured through my lens at that moment, a celebration of the majestic landscape of the North and its social, cultural and industrial heritage, as it was and as it remains now.
