Matt was born and raised in the small fishing village of Sorrento, Australia, and since 2003 has been living in Rome Italy. Having been brought up surrounded by nature with a well noted artistic childhood, Matt was drawn to landscape photography viewing Europe for the first time, such as the Swiss Alps and Tuscan countryside. The passion and devotion for capturing these landscapes and many others around the globe has evolved over many years on field. In recent years his landscape images have been highly regarded, especially amongst the global Pentax community.
Paul Thomson is a Professional Landscape Photographer living in the UK near the Lake District. With a love for the outdoors and the special landscapes surrounding me such as the North Pennines right on my doorstep, I am spoilt for choice for subjects to photograph. My goal is to capture these beautiful locations and share the magic of these areas with everyone. Published in Practical Photography Magazine as well as others and one of OutDoor Photography Guides contributors. I have an ongoing Youtube channel and podcast and run workshops in the UK.
My name is Tom Peters and I am a landscape photographer recently returned to Wiltshire after living in Cornwall for 8 years. I was mainly a seascape photographer but since being surrounded by ancient woodlands now I have been homing my woodland photography skills allot more recently. I’m a morning person so a 4:00am alarm isn’t uncommon for me, and you will find me in my local ancient woodland or back down the beach, now at the gorgeous Dorset coastline. Being outdoors and creative have always been two passions of mine and photography has been that outlet for me for a long time.
