Meet the team

Are we a team? Are we a group? Some call us a collective. All we know is, we are definitely a Shambles©

  • A man outdoors with glasses, a camouflage cap, and a black jacket smiling as he adjusts a professional camera on a tripod.

    Steve Stain (Not a brummie)

    A landscape photographer of grand vistas and even grander denials of his Brummie roots. Founder of 'Thumbs Up Photography,' where the only thing bigger than his lens is his insistence that he's “not from round 'ere, bab”

  • A man with glasses, a beard, and a knit cap, wearing a puffy jacket and carrying a backpack, outdoors in a natural setting.

    Martin Hajdukiewicz (Certified Tree Hugger)

    His woodland photography is his attempt to prove that even the most socially awkward tree enthusiast can create art. He's frequently lost in the woods, but the resulting photos are, objectively, quite good. He is, however, aware that he resembles a woodland gnome.

  • A smiling man holding a professional camera with a large telephoto lens outdoors.

    Colin Powell (Who?)

    No idea who he is, seems a nice chap though, think he’s a landscape photographer.

  • Black and white photo of a middle-aged man wearing a knit beanie and a puffy jacket, outdoors setting.

    Dave Peck (Mockney Reject)

    Youtube's own landscape artist, with a side of 'apples and pears' that's more like bruised bananas. Prepare for stunning scenery and a strong dose of misplaced cockney.

  • A smiling man wearing glasses, a knit hat, and a puffy Columbia jacket, sitting outdoors.

    Garry Sugden (Grumpy Northerner)

    He sees beauty where others see damp rocks and midges. This Yorkshireman's love for waterfalls is only surpassed by his love for complaining about the weather. His YouTube channel is a masterclass in photographic skill and the art of the disgruntled 'Ey up.'

  • Louise Welcome

    Louise Welcome (The Voice From Above)

    Not only our 'voice from above,' but also our resident voice of reason—and probably the main reason we haven't been cancelled (yet!). Keeping the 'boys' in line is just one of her superpowers. Outside of that, Louise is a superb photographer with an extraordinary eye for capturing beauty, whether it's in the UK or far-flung locales. She also boasts a razor-sharp wit, often comically roasting herself and the rest of the team in a way only she can.
