Darryn Wade Photography

My name is Darryn Wade and I’m a self-taught, colourblind, landscape photographer, born and bred in Northumberland.

A joiner by trade, I took up photography in 2009 and was able to turn professional eight years ago. Now firmly established, I sell my work here online and in outlets throughout Northumberland.

I’ve been a keen surfer , rock climber, fell runner and walker since an early age and have always felt a deep affinity with the Northumbrian landscape as a whole. I always try to portray this connection in each photograph I take. I find equal charm in our hills, on our moors and of course our amazing coastline. My greatest difficulty is deciding where to go on the day as we have so much to choose from.

Each outing holds something unexpected, whether it’s conditions, wildlife or another perspective I hadn’t noticed before. But there is always that overwhelming Northumbrian atmosphere!

Situated in the heart of Alnwick. Sherkhan serves a diverse menu of traditional and contemporary Indian food. All cooked fresh to order by our world class chefs. With a relaxed and modern restaurant and cocktail bar you can be sure of a warm welcome by the very friendly team.
