Chasing Light, Occasionally Catching It

I'm Tony. Landscape and travel photographer. Blog and YouTube for the free stuff, guides and mentoring if you want more.

Nigel Danson picked out my Antarctica shot 🥇

...there was one shot to me that really stood out from Tony... incredible use of a polariser... incredible sense of depth... and it really was special
— Nigel Danson, Antarctica broke my 1 in 2000 rule, Youtube

On a ship full of professional and amateur photographers, this shot was voted best of the trip. Landscape photographer Nigel Danson picked it out on his YouTube channel too!

Guides for planning a trip, videos and writing blog articles for the rest of the time. I also do photography mentoring if you'd rather just talk it through.

Tony J Hughes, that’s me, but what do I do?

An hour online, your images, your questions. Composition, camera settings, editing, or working out what it is you're actually trying to say with your photography.

One to one mentoring

Trip reports, location breakdowns and the occasional tutorial. I write up the mornings that didn't work as well as the ones that did, which is most of them.

Blog and videos

Everything I know about a place, written down so you're not stood in a layby in the dark wondering if you're in the right one. The Lofoten guide runs to seventeen locations along the E10.

Mentoring. What is it?

Two ways to do this, and a free chat first if you're not sure which.

A coaching Session

Editing, Lightroom, Photoshop, composition, or getting off auto and staying off it. We agree what you want to work on beforehand so we're not spending the first ten minutes working out where to start.

1-2-1 Online Photography Mentorship
from £65.00

I’m a photographer and photography educator sharing my work and adventures on YouTube.

Whether you're struggling with editing, trying to understand Lightroom or Photoshop, improving your composition, or finally getting off auto mode, I can help.

Book a 1-to-1 online coaching session and we’ll work through your questions, your images, and the areas you want to improve. Before we meet, we’ll quickly discuss your goals so we can make the most of our time together.

A critique Session

£65, 45 minutes, up to 15 of your images. I go through composition, editing and whether the shot actually works, and you get honest feedback rather than the thumbs up you'd get on Instagram. You'll come away knowing what to do differently.

Want to see how your photography really measures up?

I’m a photographer and educator sharing my work and adventures on YouTube. Social media likes aren’t a reliable measure of skill, real improvement comes from honest, constructive feedback.

Book a 1-to-1 online critique session and we’ll review up to 15 of your images over 45 minutes. I’ll give detailed feedback on composition, post-processing, and overall visual impact, plus actionable tips to take your photography to the next level.
