A Little About Giles…

Okay, so you probably have a good idea what The Active Photographer is all about – but here’s a little about me.

Based in Hampshire in the UK, on the foot of the South Downs National Park, I’ve spent many years (almost 23 at the last count) shooting a wide variety of commercial and editorial imagery. This has taken me all around the country and has included everything from the corporate world to one-man-band businesses.

These days, my work as a photographer, coach and educator is all about promoting the benefits of spending time outdoors. In terms of photography, I’m passionate about helping people take photos in a slower, more purposeful way in line with a closer connection with nature.

Inspired.

Photography, writing, the outdoors and personal development are what I love to help people with. We all have a story and, as cliché as it might sound, each of these really does have the power to make a difference and change lives. It’s fair to say that everything I do is, in one sense or another, about storytelling.

Bonus fact!

Alongside the photography and writing, I am also an internationally-accredited coach – so you will often see me sharing quotes and musings concerning mindset and the difference a positive attitude can make to our lives.
