Gavin Gough: Photographer

Originally from England, I am currently based in Thailand from where I travel extensively, working on commission and shooting stock photographs for Getty and Lonely Planet Images.

I have taken photos in North and South America, Europe, Australasia and Africa but I’m repeatedly drawn back to Asia and the Indian subcontinent. The combination of rich colours and wonderful light together with the enchanting spirituality of the people and the fact that life is lived very much in the open in these locations provides me with infinite photo opportunities.

I consider myself as much a traveller as I am a photographer. Indeed, the two go very much hand-in-hand and I’m at my most creative when travelling. Equally, I’m a much more enthusiastic traveller when I have a camera in my hand.

As well as working on my own projects, I offer photo workshops and classes which aim to assist keen photographers develop their own skills. Further details can be found on the Workshops page.
