Superb Photography matters.
The growing success of the highly illustrated and photographically noteworthy Official Guides to the Wales Coast Path and the pocket size Top 10 Walks series is built in part around the work of some truly outstanding professional photographers.
While some of our striking images are taken in-house and some sourced through stock libraries, many are also specially commissioned from some of Britain’s best landscape and wildlife photographers. Their amazing ‘golden hour’ dawn and dusk pictures, and intimate animal photos, help bring the books alive. They make you want to be there, and see what they see, now.
Great photography makes all the difference.
Drew Buckley
Drew is an award-winning, fulltime professional photographer based in Pembrokeshire.
He is a big believer in doing most of the work in camera with the use of subtle filters; and spends more time out with the camera and less working in the digital darkroom. He likes to keep colours true to life, capturing the scale and raw essence of a scene, truly involving the viewer into wanting to be there rather than just saying, “That’s a nice photo”.
He is a regular contributor to many photography & wildlife magazines throughout the UK.
He also runs photography workshops on landscape and wildlife techniques in Pembrokeshire and West Wales.
In September 2012 he received a Highly Commended Award with a landscape image in the prestigious British Wildlife Photography Awards.
