Best Photos of 2021

Updated on 30 December 2021

2021 was an interesting year creatively after spending a lot of time working to improve my post-production skills.

As with most years, most of my favourite images have been shot locally - typically, within about 30 minutes drive from home.

One of my favourite locations this year was Sharpenhoe Clappers, on the edge of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire on a wooded outcrop and former hill fort in the Chiltern Hills. There are also a couple of locations I’ve started developing work in that are new finds this year - you’ll hear more about them in due course.

Without further adieu, my favourite photographs for 2021.

I wish everyone a very happy new year and an amazing 2022!
