Moorland Photography & Storytelling from the North of England

Ste Walton is a Rochdale-based landscape photographer, drawn to the quiet power and raw beauty of the Southern Pennines.

Working primarily across Rochdale and the North of England, his photography explores vast skies, shifting weather, and the raw, restorative beauty of nature. Based near the South Pennines, his work captures iconic local landscapes — from the windswept expanse of Scout Moor and the quiet reflections of Naden Valley, to the rugged gritstone edges of Blackstone Edge, Rooley Moor, and the Rossendale Valley. Shaped through a deeply personal journey through addiction recovery and late-diagnosed autism and ADHD, his photography grounds itself in stillness, honesty, and emotional connection.
