“Every location was spot on — saved me hours of planning.” — Mark T
Perfect for photographers who want stunning images without long hikes or complicated planning. Every guide focuses on accessibility — pinpointing roadside and short‑walk locations that deliver professional‑quality shots from easy‑to‑reach viewpoints.
Whether you’re short on time, prefer simpler routes, or just want to maximise your shooting opportunities, these guides take the guesswork out of finding great locations.
Current guides cover Anglesey & North Wales, Scotland’s South & Western Highlands, the Lake District, and Liverpool.
These guides aren’t about cutting corners — they’re about cutting out the wasted time so you can focus on the joy of creating images.
Meet Ste, The Lazy Photographer
Ste has always believed that landscape photography should be about creating images — not losing hours to blog‑hopping, guessing where to park, or hiking miles only to watch the light disappear behind a ridge.
He spent years chasing light across the UK: early alarms, long drives, missed sunrises, and more wasted hikes than he’d ever admit. Like most photographers, he loved the adventure, but he hated the inefficiency — the vague directions, the “park somewhere around here” advice, and the locations that looked nothing like the photos online.
Too many spots were impossible to find, miles from the nearest parking, poorly described, photographed from angles nobody explained, or simply not worth the effort once you finally arrived.
So, he started keeping notes. Real notes. Field‑tested, easy‑to‑reach
locations with clear parking, simple access, and honest guidance about when they work — and when they don’t. Those notes became The Lazy Photographer Location Guides.
Today, every guide is built on the same idea: remove the faff, keep the adventure, and help photographers spend more time shooting and less time planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are these guides for beginners or professionals?
The guides are designed for all skill levels, from hobbyists with a smartphone to seasoned photographers with full-frame gear.
What kind of information is included in each guide?
Every location includes GPS coordinates, What3Words links, best times to shoot, parking info, walk distances, seasonal notes, and accessibility tips, so you can plan your shoot in minutes, not hours.
Do I need to be super fit or go on long hikes?
Not at all. We specialize in roadside and short-walk locations, ideal for those who want stunning results without a 4-hour trek. Most spots are accessible within 30 minutes or less.
How accurate and up-to-date is the information?
Every guide is field-tested by real photographers and reviewed regularly. We also include notes on seasonality and weather conditions, plus digital updates if locations change.
Is this just another tourist guide?
Definitely not. These guides are created by photographers, for photographers, focused on light, composition, elevation, and timing. It’s the kind of detail typical tourist books completely miss.
Is there a digital version or just print?
Each purchase includes a physical book designed to fit in your rucksack, and some guides include a digital bonus (PDF or link to updates). Check individual product pages for details.
