Greg Howard

Born and raised in Nottingham, England, what started at a young age as sneaking out of the house with cameras that weren't mine, quickly turned into impulse lens purchases and late nights editing.

I’ve always preferred exploring the outdoors and wandering around rainy streets over the social grind and busy schedules. With an educational background in graphics, photography later turned into the perfect middle ground for me.

I created 'distantmedia' in late 2012 primarily as an alias for posting my work online while remaining anonymous. Years later, my passion for creating visual content has led me to produce for both small businesses and major brands.

Running around with a camera in hand has ended up being the biggest part of my identity. Now based in Northumberland, I work as a freelance photographer, content director and run a photography based YouTube channel.

I’m currently working on various long term projects, most notably ‘All That Remains,’ which is the working title of my documentation of places and subjects fallen into disuse, decay or destruction in Northern England.
