Craig Easton's BlogTravel Photographer of the Year Awards 2016
Posted on December 22, 2016
Delighted and honoured to win the Portfolio award for ‘Natural World’ in the Travel Photographer of the Year last week.
The portfolio of four pictures is taken from my ongoing personal project ‘The Lake’ – you can see a wider selection from the project on the website: craigeaston.com > travel and landscape series > The Lake.
What the judges said: “Craig’s images caught the eye of the judges in the earlier online rounds of the judging but it was only when they saw the sumptuous tones and detail in the prints that their true beauty and quality was fully appreciated.”
The prints will be exhibited as part of the TPOTY exhibitions to be held in 2017:
Hull, City of Culture, 18th May – 30th June
Greenwich, London, 4th August – 3rd September
The Tay Valley, Scotland
Posted on June 27, 2016
Amidst all the turmoil surrounding the EU referendum here in the UK last week, I was fortunate to spend a few days up in Scotland continuing my series of large format landscapes.
This time The Upper Tay Valley in and around Crianlarich….
With 04.30 sunrise and sunset at 22.30, they were long days. Thanks to the good folk at the Crianlarich Hotel who looked after me with my odd time keeping!
A pint of the Colonsay Brewery IPA was a welcome treat at the end of the day…
Myanmar
Posted on January 22, 2016
Back from a fascinating trip to Myanmar in December. Amazing country, lovely people and a privilege to have the opportunity to work there. A longer blog post will follow with the commissioned pictures once they have been used by the client, but here’s a little taster…
Website updates
Posted on August 21, 2015
Finally got round to updating some work on the website:

Here’s just three pictures from each…..
One from the archive….Polaroid Type 55
Posted on November 27, 2014
Just came across this in the studio from an old polaroid Type 55 neg. (fantastic film and much missed) Shot on a Sinar ‘Norma’ 5×4 believe it not – really a studio camera but I used to take it on the road sometimes…..
Scouse wit with roadsigns…..
The Pacific Coast Highway – California Route 1
Posted on November 23, 2014
Just a few pictures of October on one of my favourite roads……
Gone to the dogs….
Posted on September 24, 2014
I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’ve found myself photographing dogs of late. No real plan and no real direction to it, I just seem to be seeing dog pictures everywhere: Paris, Liverpool, New York, Mumbai, Amsterdam…..

International Color Awards
Posted on May 7, 2014
Good News this morning from The International Color Awards in Los Angeles….
Winner ‘Honor of Distinction’ in the Portraits category for my image of ‘Charley’ from the series ‘Rockabilly Nights’ plus ‘Honorable Mentions’ for three further photographs in the Americana and Sports categories.
I’ll have to watch myself with all the u’s missing from ‘color’ and ‘honor’ – might turn into an American!
shouldn’t forget two other nominations (‘portraits’ and ‘people’) for the Scooter Club…
