Jon Cruttenden Photography - who took most of the images for this site says his main source of inspiration over the years has been the striking natural beauty of the Staffordshire Moorlands and the Peak District National Park.
More recently, he has been inspired by the characterful architecture to be found in and around Leek itself.
He began to sell his work in June 2004 through Leek Tourist Information Centre.
John also has an interest in the photographing of musicians as can be seen on his website.
He has staged exhibitions in Leek and Much Wenlock in Shropshire, and has sold pictures bound for destinations all over the world.
