I’ve been lucky to work with some great photographers during the past few years while presenting on the BBC’s One Show. Click on their names below to take a look at their websites. Often they offer courses and workshops that you can get involved in. They are all not only extremely talented photographers but also delightful people.
Joe is one of the UK’s most well known landscape photographers, based in north Yorkshire. If you ever see a rugged coastline or a snow-covered moorland on a National Trust poster, the chances are Joe took the shot. I spent an Arctic morning photographing frost with him in Bristol this winter, while I moaned about freezing fingers he took some lovely photographs.
Rob operates out of Kent. He helped me photograph March hares in Hertfordshire recently and gave me a series of great tips on how to get the best action shot. His own photos of the Kent landscape and wildlife are simply stunning. He runs courses not only in his own neck of the woods but also in many of our favourite national parks.
If you’ve got a photographic problem – Kim Taylor can fix it. A technical wizard, he is the master of the impossible shot. He designs and builds his own camera and flash systems to take phenomenal action shots of bats in flight, birds bathing, squirrels jumping, mosquitoes hatching… you name it. He doesn’t have a specific website but you’ll find his pictures all over the internet. Click here to read about the lengths he goes to for a great photo.
Roger came along as our free-diving instructor and underwater cameraman when we went diving with cape fur seals of the coast of Cape Town for the Animal Planet series “In Too Deep”. I’ve never met anyone who can hold their breath longer than this man (and work while he does it). Roger lives in Cape Town and works all over Southern Africa with the BBC and others.
David is based in Brighton, but he owns a 10-acre patch of ancient Sussex woodland and it’s a photographer’s paradise. I visited in spring with the One Show, when bluebells were at their best, the trees had burst into leaf and David’s carefully placed hides gave me fantastic opportunities to photograph goldfinches, greater spotted woodpeckers and much more. He runs various courses for photographers of all abilities – so those 10 fantastic acres are open to anyone.
