What Tony tells us

I'm Tony North, a photographer based in Manchester, England.  My main passions are macro and landscape photography.

I have always loved nature, but there's something about spending a few hours in a wildflower meadow capturing images of butterflies and dragonflies that really excites me. I love revealing the amazing beauty of the world of miniature beasts, and sharing that with others.

Equally I love walking through and photographing beautiful scenery - whether rural, coastal or urban. A special interest of mine is astrophotography - especially capturing the Milky Way over some dramatic scene.

I also enjoy competing, whether in BPE Salons or in major competitions such as the International Garden Photographer of the Year, which I won outright in 2023, or Amateur Photographer of the Year, in which I came 2nd overall in 2020.
