A journey to Fair Isle

Adrift in the North Atlantic, Fair Isle is about as far from civilisation as it’s possible to get in the British Isles – but for the fifty-odd people who live there, it’s something else, too: home.

Ernest Journal, Issue 3

I recently worked with the fantastic Ernest Journal (‘the magazine for curious and adventurous gentlefolk’) on their third print issue, shooting a 24-page special on the Isles of Scilly. We visited most of the main islands – St Mary’s, Tresco, St Agnes and Bryher, plus a couple of the more out-of-the-way ones, including the abandoned island of Samson and the wild island of Gugh, where the magazine’s cover image was shot.

Montenegro

A photo gallery from a recent trip to Montenegro, including the Bay of Kotor, Durmitor National Park and Lake Skadar. It’s a country with some really epic scenery: wild mountains, sandy beaches, unspoilt lakes and much more.

Canadian Rockies

I’ve spent a lot of time in Canada, mainly in the Canadian Rockies while writing Lonely Planet’s guidebook to Banff, Jasper and Glacier National Parks. If I had a choice it’s probably where I’d spend most of my time – it’s fantastically beautiful, gloriously wild and home to some really amazing wildlife.
