North Shore is a family run business, which we started when we were looking for pictures of North Wales for our home.We wanted images with character that related to the places we love, but which at the same time were subtle and modern. We couldn’t find anything that wasn’t picture-postcardy, so we rolled up our sleeves and set to work. That was in 2007. After four years, numerous rainy soakings, too many French Martinis, two cracked camera lenses, lots of early starts, umpteen wind-whipped hairdos, multiple cream teas, one broken foot, plenty of zooming around in our little red car, three websites, one name change, a dribbling cat, thousands of lovely customers and one precarious cliff-top dangling shoot, we’re still here! |
Our philosophyWe treat our customers the way we like to be treated when we buy online. Even the best run companies sometimes encounter problems, but if there’s ever an issue we’ll do our very best to put it right straight away and we’ll never fob you off. We’ve had enough problems ourselves as customers to ever inflict it on you! We only photograph places that we know and love. That way we can get under the skin of the location and create an image which truly reflects the place. We keep our landscapes as natural and as authentic as possible. We won’t take a photograph if it needs special equipment to look good, or lots of editing afterwards, because then it stops being real. For the same reason, we avoid using special filters, allowing instead the natural colours and beauty of a landscape to shine. |
Geoff takes all the photographs for North Shore. Born and bred in Lancashire, he moved to Llandudno in 2006. As well as selling his work online, Geoff opened a shop on Llandudno Pier in April 2007. Geoff’s work has appeared in The Times, The Independent and Coast & Country magazine. His most recent exhibition activity was at the Snowdonia Arts Festival in October 2011.
