About Neil
Originally from Portishead in North Somerset. Neil studied Graphic Design at the Cardiff Institute of Higher Education and Illustration at the university of Plymouth in Exeter, before gaining UK recognition as a freelance illustrator.
He has now turned his attention to photography; a passion since teenage years in the mid 80’s where he first fell under the spell of photography and was able to pursue photographic studies at both Cardiff & Exeter art colleges, as a secondary subject concentrating on specific areas of film photography, studio and dark room techniques. His work these days is digital where he uses a Canon 5D mark II and a wide range of canon L series lenses.
In recent years Neil has developed his passion for interesting and inspiring landscape work, cityscapes, travel documentation and wildlife photography. Neil’s current research includes: Travel photography, including documentation of his recent trips to Asia (Sri Lanka & Japan) by capturing the colour, character and culture of both countries.
Photographic work to date includes images used for BBC Springwatch & Autumnwatch 2010 and 2011 series, Commissions for Channel4 and 4Talent magazine. Neil has recently displayed his photographic work at a series of Bristol based exhibitions; Baristas coffee collective, Broadwalk Arts, 'Grounded' café/bar, Southbank Bristol Arts trail 2010 at the Tobacco factory in Bristol, and participated in the Bristol festival of photography 2010.
Recent published work to date includes: Photoradar, Digital Camera magazine, BBC Nature blog & Nature images web site. Neil's image 'Floodlit football pitch' was also shortlisted in the Travel section of Digital Camera photographer of the year 2011. His macro work has also appeared in the magazine and supplements.
