MTB photos call-out

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, Loch Muick, Cairngorms
• Ben Damph, Torridon
