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.
The current issue of Digital Photographer magazine, issue 84, carries my Career Guide article on photo workshops. The article looks at how to set up your first photo workshop, what clients will expect you to deliver and how best to promote your workshop to the public. You can buy Digital Photographer magazine in all discerning newsagents or the nice people at Digital Photographer have provided you with an option to buy online.
July 8, 2009 - 9:27 pm - Nice one Gavin! Do they sell GoPro Magazine here in Bangkok?
July 8, 2009 - 10:56 pm - Wow, cant wait to grab one of this copy.
July 8, 2009 - 11:30 pm - Nice Gavin. I've started reading the magazine since you've started blogging about it. I like it a lot. Lots of good information, well written, excellent photos and nicely designed. My only complaint is that it's very expensive on this side of the pond (about $15). Yikes! jack
July 8, 2009 - 11:35 pm - Mike, Digital Photographer mag is available in BKK but as Jack has found in the States, it's expensive overseas. It's about 600 baht in Asia Books or any of the other bookshops around town. However, the Thailand Creative & Design Centre (TCDC) on the top floor of Emporium keep copies if you just want to have a read.
