Antony has always had a keen interest in photography and started taking photography more seriously in 2007 with the purchase of his first digital SLR. His short time with a digital camera makes his 2010 win of the coveted Landscape Photographer of the Year award all the more remarkable (his winning image is reproduced above). The prize allowed him to leave his day job and concentrate full time on landscape photography. He is based in Dorset and has a passion for capturing the landscape in the best available light wherever and whenever possible. Having lived his whole life in the South West, he is very passionate about the varied landscape there, from beautiful rolling downland to the incredible coastline of the southwestern peninsula - from Dorset right round to North Devon and Somerset. Antony also spends a great deal of time in the Arctic chasing Aurora Borealis and arctic winter landscapes. Whether it’s below freezing or the relatively balmy climes of Dorset, he loves experiencing the landscape as often as possible.
