Bye bye, Matt Gibbons!
Well thats the end of my five day placement with Mike and it has been very useful indeed
Mike McFarlane is a landscape photographer, who after living in many parts of the UK has returned to the North East of England. Fascinated by the beauty of the light and land, especially the coast, his work shares this beauty with others. Mike’s landscape photography covering Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, County Durham, Teesside, Yorkshire, Scotland, UK and Europe is available in galleries nationwide and is used commercially.
Inspired by A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf by John Muir. The story of John Muir’s walk from Kentucky to the Gulf of Mexico via the “wildest, leafiest and least trodden way I could find” and staying with strangers made me think about my love of Scotland and how it would be a fantastic journey to walk from the Shetland Isles to my home in Newcastle.

Business series #1 - One of the downsides of being a professional photographer is that you go from being a photographer to being in the business of photography, that is you are now a business like any other and subject to the same highs and lows - emotional, financial and ethical. You put yourself out in the world for all to see, and in some cases, for the more unscrupulous members of society, you become a target. The trick is to not become a victim.

I’m used to bad weather in the mountains, but getting my tent destroyed by a storm whilst camping in them is a new and scary experience.

There are a lot of photography sites on the internet. Check fotoritim.com out. It’s a cracker.
