While not an area I have often pursued commercially, landscape photography has always been a great passion of mine.
This is because I like to reduce what I see down to the bare bones of form, colour, texture and tone, allowing me to compose my shots in a way that is just for my own personal satisfaction.
Even while I took a break from photography in general, I was still taking shots of the environments I found myself in. This was made much easier by the arrival on the scene of the sophisticated mobile phones we see now (after all, the best camera in the world is the one you have with you), but now I also continue to produce landscape photography with drones, mirrorless cameras, GoPros and pretty much anything I have to hand.

Some guys from the Junta de Andalucia come every now and then with a cherry-picker to “manicure” these olive trees in between Competa and Torrox. Some locals love them and some hate them, but everyone has an opinion.
A palm tree pokes up between the east and west carriageways of the A7 Autovia as it passes through Velez Malaga, creating a juxtaposition of the natural and the artificial.
My home town of Competa in Malaga is such a beautiful place to photograph.
