Alistair How

I have had a life long interest in photography and the outdoors, starting my career at Kodak after studying Geography at Southampton University.

These days I still enjoy taking photos and sharing the craft and my experiences with others. Passing on those skills in an approachable and friendly manner allows others to become more skilled. I am happiest when I see others succeed.

After many years taking personal and family photos I returned to more serious photography a few years ago when I had the time to spare. I became president of Harrogate Photographic Society for the 101st year in 2023/24 season and was asked to be president again for 2024/25.

Based in North Yorkshire I am right on the doorstep of a number of photographic hot spots, but also travel far and wide looking for new locations and opportunities. I have been lucky in my professional life to travel to some unusual places and am still opening up new locations for photography.

My work has been recognised by various bodies including awards at the Yorkshire Photographic Union, FIAP, BPE and publications in Outdoor Magazine and the RPS.

I run workshops and one to ones both in a solo capacity, for the RPS and as one of the Landscape Locations tutor team. https://landscapelocations.com/photography-guides/

Whilst my core interest remains landscapes, but I am also very keen on city photography, including architecture, plus sport, documentary and travel. Favourite locations remain the Yorkshire Dales, especially the area around the three peaks, and Northumberland.

I offer tuition, plus talks and judging sessions to camera clubs.
