Hi, I’m Ian
Farming and travel, travel and farming,
two obsessions that have collided with a third -
capturing the image
My perfect day?
Camera in hand, wife by my side, capturing a shot of a nomadic herdsman in some far flung land.
In real life I’m a farm recruiter and consultant - a varied role that has taken me to the four corners of the globe - sparking a life long love of travel and adventure - usually with a camera by my side.
Based in Northwest England, I have been picking up the camera on and off since my late teens, getting serious in the early 2020’s.
Hobby life and work life started to merge when asked to get video footage for an industry initiative, then a request from a animal mineral company and the next “can you just” and “you got a good camera…” - who would have thought, knowing cows and cameras could be such a good match!
With photos and video being produced for numerous businesses in the sector and commissions for some of the leading farm and countryside publications and magazines, I manage to fund the true passion - travel photography - perhaps the broadest of all the photographic genres - capturing places, people, stories and light itself.
Whether undertaking a filming assignment for an agribusiness, a drone shot for a brochure or a photo of a colourful bazaar for the travel gallery, I am fully licensed and insured for all the kit I use.
