Kayaking in Svalbard

Picture: Laura Smithwick

 
 

I am a photographer based in Dorset, UK, and focus on the natural world, through wildlife, landscapes, travel and portraits.

I love the process of producing prints from my work, so do all of my own printing, using a Canon ProGRAF-1000 and primarily high quality papers from Permajet.

By education I am an Aeronautical Engineer, so I also have a passion for aviation and aviation photography.

I have been taking photographs for many decades, after having my first SLR camera, a Praktica LTL3, in the 1970s. I made a leap to Nikon cameras (long a dream for me) in the 1990s and have shot on Nikon ever since.
