LEE Howdle, (37), is a stunning photographer – but he now has a nine-month-old baby Minnie Mae to look after along with his partner Natalie at their Radcliffe on Trent home, writes Barrie Farnsworth.
He also works as a Tesco store manager in Mansfield – but he hops off to the Peak District whenever he can to take photographs.
He took up photography about seven years ago, going to places like Wollaton Hall and Bradgate Park to take pictures of stags, as he was particularly interested in wildlife shots.
But a trip to Bakewell turned his interest around, as he explains: “I popped into the Peak District Visitor Centre four or five years ago, and there was a gallery of some stunning landscapes. I thought to myself, these are superb – I want to have a go at this.”
So he’s always checking the weather forecast for his days off – or when he’s not minding the baby – and has been known to get up a 2am to head off to Peakland. But as these pictures show, it is more than worth the effort, Lee!
