    The publisher request is:

    We’ve got two exciting new MTB books lined up to publish in late 2024 and early 2025 and we’re looking to fill some photography gaps. If you think you might have anything, please do drop us a line at photo@v-publishing.co.uk

    We are paying for photos, and you’ll get a copy of the book too.

    Book 1
    We’re looking for a mix of vertical/portrait and horizontal/landscape format photos of purpose-built trails in England, Wales and Northern Ireland which we’ll use in a range of sizes. (We’re already sorted for Scotland photos.)

    These are some of the gaps we’d like to fill:

    Surrey Hills: Leith Hill (Summer Lightning)
    Bedgebury
    Lee Valley
    Aston Hill
    Woburn Sands
    Chicksands
    Chacewood Bike Park
    Bike Park Kernow
    Wind Hill
    Bristol Trails (Ashton Court, Leigh Woods etc.)
    Northampton Bike Park
    Phoenix Bike Park
    Thetford Forest
    Rother Valley
    Stainburn
    Sutton Bank
    Farmer Johns
    Clayton Vale
    Gisburn
    Grizedale
    Hamsterley
    Afan
    Cwmcarn
    Brechfa
    Cwm Rhaeadr
    Nant yr Arian
    Dyfi Bike Park
    Coed y Brenin
    Antur Stiniog
    Penmachno
    Any Northern Ireland trails (e.g. Blessingbourne, Davagh, Rostrevor, Castlewellan)
    Book 2
    We’re primarily looking for vertical/portrait-format photos to print full page showing some of the best natural trails in England, Scotland and Wales. We’ll also run a small number of photos smaller, and these will be a mix of vertical/portrait and horizontal/landscape format.

    While this is an MTB book, some of the photos we’ll use won’t feature bikes at all – just the trail and the landscape. Worth thinking about if you’ve got a nice shot, but it doesn’t feature a bike/rider.

    These are some of the gaps we’d like to fill:

    Bowerman’s Nose/Hayne Down, Dartmoor
    Nutcrackers, Lustleigh Cleave, Dartmoor
    Hawkcombe Head, Exmoor
    Quantocks: Smith’s Combe, Stert Combe, Weacombe, Lady’s Edge (climb)
    Trail above Cheddar Gorge, to the south
    Trail below Nine Barrow Down, Purbecks
    Peckett Well (either descent), Hebden Bridge
    High Brown Knoll, above Hebden Bridge
    Gunnerside Gill, Swaledale
    Rosedale Old Railway singletrack, North York Moors
    Great Hograh Moor, North York Moors
    High Cup Nick (trail up from Dufton), North Pennines
    Bolt’s Law, Northumberland
    Blanchland Singletrack, Northumberland
    The Blorenge, Brecon Beacons (trail around the hill)
    Mynydd Llangorse singletrack, Brecon Beacons
    Crug Mawr, Brecon Beacons
    Bwlch y Rhiwgyr (descent on the Pont Scethin loop), Rhinogs
    Rhyd-ddu, Snowdon (oof!)
    Moel Famau, Clwyds (grassy western descent)
    Corrie Chash, Lochnagar, Cairngorms
    Ben Damph, Torridon
    If you think you might have anything, please do drop us a line at photo@v-publishing.co.uk

    Thanks!
