Hi folks,

Welcome to my website which contains a growing number of archive pictures and all the new stuff I'm taking. Right now, there's over 85,000 pictures to view or buy.


STOP PRESS: (9th November 2023)

 

I've had a busy year so far adding thousands of new pictures to this website. I spent two months in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore at the beginning of the year updating rail and travel pictures from that part of the world.

Since my return to the UK I've covered much of the UK rail network. It's not just pictures of trains either. I try to document the entire range of UK railways, from people, stations and signalling to infrastructure and community. Then there's the building of HS2, our new railway, which I'll continue to document progress on.

Of course, it's not just railways. I have an extensive travel collection and I'm still adding old slide scans when time permits. 

You can easily find the most up to date pictures by clicking on the 'recent' bar at the top of this page. This will display all the galleries and subjects that have had pictures added.

As Zenfolio has started 'archiving' galleries that haven't been updated for 3 years I've begun the long process of rationalising the number of galleries and amalgamating some. This is going to take a while. If a gallery you'd like to browse is shown as archived follow the message on the gallery and it will be reactivated within 24 hours.  

Like most freelances, I'm feeling the pinch financially as the world recovers from Covid, the war in Ukrainse and (here in the UK) economic problems caused by our own Government. So, if you'd like to buy copies of any pictures (prices start from as little as £1.75) you can buy prints through this website. I'd be very grateful for your support. Of course, you can also show support by buying me a coffee! https://ko-fi.com/paulbigland68312

As well as pictures I also have a blog running which documents my travels and experiences in more detail. You can find that here;

Cheers,

Paul

Guestbook for Paul Bigland Photography

I never have seen a photographer who concentrates his projects on the rail networks of a country. And I think that does makes you stand alone in the photographer’s community. Actually, it is a good thinking as it will give you a unique identity.

Tyneside Metro isn't correct. It is called Tyne & Wear Metro for a reason. It's within Tyne & Wear county and the system serves BOTH Newcastle and Sunderland.

Excellent Collection, Paul! Loved the Indian pictures, especially!

Excellent collection in Manchester. It's 40 yrs since I worked in the city centre. I must get back to take some shots. I like the inclusion of the passengers etc to create the whole scene. Too many shots by others just show the tram/loco which could be anywhere. Thanks again for sharing.
