personal background he was born April 26 1984. he's from black pool uk. he currently lives in Whitley bay. he started photography at 6. philosophy his major idea was to feel not alone. he said before his camera he was a loner and he he always travels by him self so he started to use the camera to show where he travels because he felt traveling by himself was pointless. influences i don't really like taking pictures unless there of trees or nature so when i found him i looked at some of his pictures and they drew me in sources Thomas Heaton | Landscape, Travel ...
