My Story

Steve is a self-taught, award-winning wildlife and landscape photographer whose work has been published internationally across national newspapers and magazines.

He has worked closely with Tony Ladd Art, providing the majority of images for the limited-edition book A Zoological Record of British Raptors. His photography has also been featured by the BBC on numerous occasions, including BBC Springwatch and BBC Countryfile, and has appeared in their annual calendar. Over the years, Steve has received generous and encouraging feedback from Chris Packham, who has used his images live on air many times.

For more than two years, Steve photographed for Lancashire Walks & Wildlife and Yorkshire Walks & Wildlife, supplying the majority of images throughout each publication.

With over 30 years behind the camera, photography is more than a hobby It’s a lifelong passion. Steve thrives on being out in nature, fully immersed, finding that quiet “zone” where creativity flows and the world slows down.

Based in Merseyside, Liverpool, Steve is married with three children aged 25, 19, and 16. He loves sharing his passion with them, spending time outdoors together and hoping to inspire an appreciation for the incredible planet we all get to enjoy.

Alongside his photography, Steve also offers one-to-one tuition, tailored to suit individual needs and skill levels. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your technique, his mentoring is relaxed, practical, and shaped around your goals.

Steve believes that nature draws us closer to our Creator, which is reflected in his motto:

“Creation is God’s fine art; the photographer is merely a witness.”

Out in the wild camera in hand, flask close by Steve finds peace, creativity, and a space to free his mind from the anxieties of everyday life.
