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.
Where to Learn Photography in Teesside and North Yorkshire
Buying a camera is exciting. Working out what to do with it afterwards can be a different story. You start with good intentions, try a few settings, watch some videos and then find yourself back on automatic because the photographs aren’t quite coming out as you hoped. If that sounds familiar, you’re certainly not the only one. It’s something I hear regularly from people joining my photography workshops.
