“I was born in Middlesbrough in 1959 and have always lived in Yorkshire. I bought my first camera (a Pentax ME Super), at the age of 18 and used it primarily for ‘snapping’ moments in my everyday life, particularly holidays. Sadly, I didn’t start to take photography seriously until the advent of digital cameras in the late 1990’s when I bought a Sony DSC1. I immediately realised the potential of this new, ‘instant gratification’ technology and thereafter regularly upgraded my kit. In 2009 I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to take an extended break from work so having dropped a few hints with my colleagues, I received as a leaving present a copy of Charlie Waite’s ‘The Making of Landscape Photographs’. From that point on I was hooked and so began the long, slow struggle to succeed in landscape photography. I soon discovered that it’s not as easy as it looks but in 2014 I was lucky enough to have my image ‘Winskill Tree’ included in Landscape Photographer of the Year competition book and published as one of 9 images from the book selected for inclusion in the Sunday Times Magazine.” – Robin Hudson.
