I'm Tony North, a photographer based in Manchester, England.  My main passions are macro (mainly insects, flowers and fungi) and landscape photography, especially astrophotography 
 
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.
​
Talks, Workshops and Tuition
​
I run urban photography workshops in Manchester in March and October, which give opportunities for getting very striking cityscapes.

I also have an 11-part online macro course running in the summer of 2026, and I'm available to give macro tuition on request, either via Zoom or at my home in Manchester.
 
In addition I am available to give online talks on my macro work as well as on landscapes, plants and fungi, abstracts, and the biology of the eye.

I hope you enjoy perusing my images. Read more about me and my background here.
