Created by a UK landscape photographer who has:

  • Published 4 photography location guides.
  • Trusted by 1500+ photographers.
  • Personally visited and tested every location.

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.

Ste 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.
  1. Save time with exact parking info and walk distances

  2. Avoid crowds and discover hidden gems

  3. Plan like a pro with tips on best times, light direction, and vantage points

  4. Build for convenience, everything you need, in one compact guide

  • Beautifully Presented 😍

    The guide to Liverpool was much better than I was expecting for the price - beautifully presented and packaged with care. As a Liverpool native and obsessive photographers, I knew most of the places shown in the book, but I can't wait to go around to the exact places detailed and take my own pictures with fresh eyes. Thanks a million for producing such a definitive guide to my home town!

  • A comprehensive guide, well laid out and designed 😍

    All the information that you needed and more! The delivery was slow, however, due to Royal Mail and not the vendors. The book will be in action next week as we visit Liverpool.

  • Remarkable! A little gem of a book 😍

    I love everything about this book. It is well thought out, well written and beautifully illustrated with wonderful photographs. The design and layout is lovely and clear, the information is perfect, the quick reference guide easy to follow. It has immediately become my go to reference book for North Wales and I will be purchasing the Guide to Scotland next!

  • Marvellous! 😍

    Excellent detailed instructions to help you find stunning locations for photography. Or even if you just wanted to see the locations for yourself. The only downside to this type of guide is that they are designed to be tucked away in the photographers camera bag which means that the authors own photographs are printed quite small. Personally I think that they would be more suited to a large format coffee table book, that you could share with guests. Excellent work!

  • Really useful book 😍

    I bought this book (Scotland Guide) after being impressed with the Wales book. I've just got back from a five day trip in North Wales which I planned using the book. I was impressed with the depth of useful information and the what3words locations are invaluable. I definelty wouldn't have found some if the remote places in the guide without it.

    Kevin W, Middlesborough, Eng

  • Terrific! 😍

    The photos are superb. Very well written and exceptionally researched. Handy little book that will stay in my camera bag. Well done Ste.
