Thanks for visiting Mark Nuttall Photography. I’m a hobbyist photographer based in Staffordshire, England.

I picked up my first serious camera over ten years ago, and haven’t looked back. Like most photographers these days I shoot digitally, and enjoy spending time capturing people and events as much as I do the landscapes of the Peak District that surround my home. Technical knowledge aside, they’re very different disciplines and this gives them very different appeals for me.

Landscape photography is about patience, persistence, and an opportunity to enjoy the solitude that the great outdoors provides. Portrait photography is much more immediate, requiring an ability to think and adapt quickly, a skill for catching moments and personalities, and it gives me the chance to meet some great new people. My conceptual images give me a creative outlet, and the freedom to express ideas and feelings. I'm increasingly drawn towards creating this type of image at present. I'm also very proud to have had the opportunity in recent years to photograph weddings for some friends and friends of friends - you can see a few of the photos from these in the gallery.

The question I most commonly get asked about my photography is “Did you use Photoshop on that?”. The answer is always yes. We’re in a digital age and processing software is part of almost every photographer’s workflow these days. Sometimes I might just be brightening a shot up a bit, other times I might be completely removing distracting objects from a shot (although it’s always better to keep an eye out for these things when you’re taking the shot if you can!). Sometimes I want a photo to have an intentionally stylized feel to it, so I might adjust colours quite dramatically. Basically, it depends on the shot, and the purpose of the shot. It’s about keeping the shots honest whilst making the best of what I’ve captured – and that means different things in different photos. 

I’m very pleased to welcome you to my website, and hope you enjoy looking around. If you have any questions at all then I'd love to hear from you.
