Welcome to the Stu Brown Photography Blog, sharing stories and photography from Saltburn-by-the-Sea, the North Yorkshire coast, and the Cleveland Way.
Here you’ll find field notes from landscape and wildlife shoots, updates from my photography workshops, and insights into working along one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in the North East of England.
I spend most of my time outdoors — watching the tides, the weather, and the changing light across the moors and cliffs. This blog is a place to share those moments: coastal landscapes at sunrise, wildlife encounters around Saltburn and the North Yorkshire Moors, and the quiet details that make this coastline so special.
Whether you’re here to discover new locations, improve your photography, join a workshop, or simply enjoy the view — I hope these stories bring you a little closer to the landscape.
Sewerby Hall | Beginners Photography Workshop
I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming beginners photography workshop at Sewerby Hall and Gardens in Bridlington on the 17th of September. This stunning location offers a perfect blend of historic architecture and beautiful natural surroundings, making it an ideal spot for aspiring photographers to hone their skills.
Sewerby Hall provides a rich backdrop with its grand Georgian architecture, while the gardens burst with vibrant colours and interesting textures that are perfect for practising composition, lighting, and focus. It’s a fantastic opportunity for beginners to explore different styles of photography, from detailed close-ups to sweeping landscape shots.
