David Osborne
I've been involved with photography for longer than I'd perhaps like to remember! I had my first camera as a teenager and used it as much as I could to photograph aircraft on my regular visits to Birmingham airport. I was, I'm afraid to admit, a childhood spotter! And even today still retain that lifelong love and interest in aircraft
My interest in wildlife developed from an early age, but was really re-kindled in the early eighties when i lived in Germany as I enthusiastically tried to photograph wild boar in a local wood, at the same time as seeing a slide show from fellow wildlife photographer Tony Wharton. The rest, as they say, is history.
Having spent a great deal of my working life in aviation, I am now a UK based professional wildlife photographer, leading my own series of photo-tours designed and organised specifically for the wildlife photographer and nature lover.
I have over the years exhibited widely in National and International photographic salons and received many major awards, including FIAP, PSA, RPS & BPE Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals.
Commercially my images have recently been used by the RSPB,The Times, Daily Mail, FITB & Ordnance Survey.
