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.
Staithes | Night Photography Workshop North Yorkshire
How fantastic to be back teaching after such a long time waiting of the Covid rules relaxing. A whole new group too, especially in Staithes, such a photogenic little seaside village in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
C.J Leonards | Commercial Photography North Yorkshire
Been contacted straight from our website always brings a smile to my face as we host and design it ourselves. Lee from C.J.Leonards contacted just that way.
Oldroyd Instruments | Commercial Photography
Commercial blogs aren't something we get chance to do very often, not because we don't get the jobs, but the images we take tend to have a need to be protected to safe guard the release of a product or a business.
Portrait Photography Workshop |
Emma had never modelled before, but proved to have the confidence to stand in front of a group and have her picture taken. It takes quite a bit of guts to stand and pose in front of three photographers especially if you haven't done it before - Well Done Emma!

Street Photography Workshop | North Yorkshire
Thank goodness the weather held out. With all the rain we’ve had recently I was worried I wouldn’t be able to run this street photography workshop.
Night Photography Workshop | North Yorkshire Photography Workshops
Some places you get pleasurably bored of, the infinity bridge is one such place for me. Ive taught night photography there for over 12 years.
Outwood Academy | Commercial Photography
When I was approached by Outwood Academy in Acklam to produce some new promotions images for their school, I felt really proud to be apart of such a great academy.
Wildlife Photography Workshop | North Yorkshire
I’ve always used Margrove ponds to run my workshops at, there are so full of life, from Deer to Coot, Mallards , Dragon Flies and Damsel Flies.
Because they are local it makes my students realise that we are surrounded by wildlife, even on our own door step.
