Rivington Pike · early light · January · 2025
Greater Manchester,
kept in season.
A slow personal project — walks, gardens, weather — photographed across the year and the BL postcodes. New work added every month; older work pulled out as the season comes round.
II · The workThe slow,
The slow,
seasonal half
of the practice.
Between weddings and match days, I spend an hour or two at first light walking the moors and the gardens around Bolton. The work is unbriefed, unsigned-off and quiet. Most of it never leaves the drive; the pictures here are the ones that asked to be printed.
Locations are kept loose on purpose — half of these places ask not to be tagged. The captions name the moor, the hill or the lane; the postcode stays unspoken.

IV · Prints
Available as limited prints.
Every image in the gallery is available as an open or limited edition print, signed on the reverse. Printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag by a working photographic lab in Manchester. Mounted, mailed, or collected from the Bolton studio.
Editioned prints are limited to twenty-five per image; once the run is sold, that frame retires from the print catalogue. Open prints stay in print as long as the lab does.
V · How this works
About this body of work.
Three things to know before you ask about a print, a commission, or a walk together.
Personal work, freely shared.
Nothing here is sponsored, commissioned or briefed. The whole project lives outside the wedding and sports calendar, and it stays that way on purpose.
Commissions taken sparingly.
A handful of commissions each year — a garden, a stretch of coast, a private estate. Always the same approach: walk it first, photograph it later, edit slowly.
Prints printed slowly.
Each print is colour-checked against the master file in the studio, then run by a single technician in Manchester. Expect two to three weeks for mailing, longer for mounting and framing.
VI · Across the practice
Six ways the practice works.
Wedding and sports take the bulk of the calendar. The four supporting services share the same eye, on a smaller cadence.
VII · Enquire
Ask about a print, or a walk.
Tell me which frame caught you, or the kind of place a commission would cover. I reply within two working days, and prints leave the lab within two weeks of confirmation.
