Here is a simple example I just wrote for you, you may adjust it according to your needs.
.flex-container {
display: flex;
margin-bottom: 1rem;
}
.img-hero, .info-hero {
max-width: 50%;
}
.img-hero img {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
}
.info-hero {
background: violet;
color: white;
}
.info-hero > * {
padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
}
<div class="flex-container">

I’m sure this is relatively simple problem but after some fiddling I’m not finding much luck, will fix one thing then another problem arises. As you can see below (this is on desktop, mobile works perfect) the text boxes are way too big, leaving loads of white space below texts, some images are a good size, some are too big, the top one looks the best. The idea being the image spans across one side then the text box is the same height next to it.
Here is a picture of the mobile for reference
I wont link all the HTML and CSS, just the relevant stuff. Any advice is welcome and appreciated.

It would be helpful if all your css code was posted as the top part seems to have cut off an element for the margin: 1rem. However, if I had to guess from just what was there it would be the padding: 3rem in the .info-hero class. Try removing that or lessening it and see if it helps.
I did not realise the text would show in a scroll frame, I have added all the HTML and CSS now. Thanks for the help
Thanks for the information, from what i can see you have reduced padding and shared the space by 50/50 % width? That leaves images either squashed or large spaces unfilled with text?
