Rochdale & South Pennines Landscape Photographer | Ste Walton

Moorland Photography & Storytelling from North England

Exploring the South Pennines: creating visual & written stories

Welcome to Ste Walton Photography.

Ste is a Rochdale-based landscape photographer drawn to the quiet power, shifting light, and raw beauty of the South Pennines.
Working across Rochdale, Greater Manchester, and the wider North of England.
Ste walton’s photography 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.
His landscape photography and writing ground themselves in stillness, honesty, and emotional connection.
They are both shaped through a deeply personal journey through addiction recovery and late-diagnosed autism and ADHD.
