About
Simon Auchterlonie has been in the art and design industry for the past 25 years, making this natural progression into photography in 2006 has allowed Simon to combine his love for both design and photography to create beautiful pictures which are "stunning" in their simplicity.
Based in the North East of England which is home to some of the most stunning coastlines and beautiful countryside the UK has to offer. The Scottish border mountains to the North, the Yorkshire moors to the South and the breathtaking Lake District to the West, are all within 90 minutes travel.
Whether it be a chilly early start for a captivating sunrise or late evening finish for an enchanting sunset, from the warm summer Yorkshire meadow sun to the snowy Cheviot mountains there is always a beautiful spot waiting to be captured.
A photograph of 'Roker Pier' in Sunderland has earned Simon Auchterlonie a fantastic
