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.
