Swan on Avon

I produce stock images for many international libraries and also just take photographs for myself . I love the mist in the early autumn morning as it produces images that are mystical.

Stratford upon Avon - upon or on ?

If you live in the Town of Stratford you use Stratford UPON Avon ,as your address . However , You are also along with many in the District of Stratford ON Avon, a large district council that extends from the West -Bidford on Avon - to the North West on the border of Redditch ,to Warwick and the south as far as the Oxfordshire border at Upton ,near Edge Hill.

The Reqqe

frosty morning with RSC theatre in the background. The quiet beauty of my walks by the River are a great privilege to enjoy. I am a photographer even when I am taking a break.

Shakespeare Monument

I am proud to be a supporting member of Shakespeare's England - an organisation that promotes the wider area as a tourist destination . Stratford upon Avon and the Bard are not the only fantastic attractions in this area, but the Bard is the most famous playwright so it is fitting that his name is used to define a much larger area and collection of tourist destimations and attractions. Many I have photographed as an Advertising Photographer.

Flood 2015

The River Avon in Stratford upon Avon does flood, sometimes it reaches the town. However flood defences and better management has reduced this. I try to photograph the river every season and not just on sunny days . The ever changing landscape is more pronounced when there is water. This was one of the photographs that helped define the AQUA project. Seeing and capturing the exceptional is what I try to do.

Prince Hal

The Gower memorial Statue is possibly one of the most photographed in Stratford upon Avon, each day it changes. It shows a selection of characters fron the Bard's plays.

Evening Sun on the Gower memorial

Sculpture is hard to capture unless the light is soft & warm helps as the Bronze becomes golden. Such a contrast to the cold winter light.

A ghost Band plays Swan Lake ?

In the flood of 2015 the Avon burst its banks and flooded across the Recreation grounds opposite the RSC. Swans take advantage of the slow water and enjoy the new waterscape.

Stratford River Festival

Winter Mist on the Avon

As a location photographer I am up early most mornings, its not a hardship its a joy. An early start finds the Avon without visitors and with a quality of light that Turner would have appreciated.

A Winter's Tale

Desk detail at KES - Shakespears Old School

The school that Shakespeare attended as a child is photographed by thousands. This detail may be a romantic relic, however the desk was only in service well after the Bard had left.
