This isn't a soppy lifestyle blog. It’s a documentation of the work behind my footage.
From field-testing and reviewing camera gear to hauling it all up into Snowdonia for a wild camp, these are my notes on stock footage filming, gear, my new fine art prints and the great British outdoors.

Braving the Elements for the Best Snowdonia Timelapse Footage Ever Captured
Capturing the perfect shot means battling exhaustion and extreme cold. This post details the hardship of trekking 25kg of camera gear up an icy ridge into a -20°C windchill. It’s the story of frozen streams and zero morale that was instantly repaid by the "cloud inversion of a lifetime," transforming the peaks of Tryfan, Glyder Fach, and Snowdon into islands rising above a golden sea of mist. This world-class timelapse footage was earned through sheer bloody-mindedness.
