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.
Skinningrove Beach Photographer
Skinningrove Beach, located on the North Yorkshire coast, is a stunning location known for its rugged beauty, dramatic cliffs, and unique rock formations. As photographers, we are always in search of breath taking settings to capture through our lenses, and Skinningrove Beach offers an abundance of photographic opportunities.

It’s a secret, hidden, north east escape, Its called Skinningrove. It’s also somewhere people don’t really think to photograph or explore. Yet it been one of my favourite places since I was a child. The beach, the sea, the cliffs and the people who live there are amazing in their own right.
