Digital Photography

Conservation, Wildlife Photography and landscape
Ian’s talent in landscape and wildlife photography comes from a love of animals and their environment, his photography only being a “tool to show others the beauty of the natural world”. He has been lucky enough to travel to many countries for work and pleasure with his camera but has always had a great love for you UK and especially the Somerset area in which he grew up. Ian spends almost all of his spare time searching for new landscape and wildlife locations for his ever-expanding image library. Often getting up before dawn or camping the night before to ensure the light is of the best possible quality to really bring his images to life. in 2009 Ian was shortlisted three images in the British Wildlife Photography Awards and had an image
Commended in the Adult Native Category for Marwell Wildlife Photographer of the year 2010. In that same year, Ian was approached by the IUCN - the International Union for Conservation of Nature for a request to you use an Urban Fox Image from his year-long project photographing these animals in Bristol. The picture was used in a poster at the 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. Governments approved a new Strategic Plan for the next 10 years to reduce pressures on the planet’s biodiversity and take action to restore the natural world. They agreed on a new protocol on managing genetic resources and pledged significant new resources to implement the agreements.

In 2010 Ian was asked to talk on BBC Radio Bristol at Broadcasting House on his Urban Fox Project, telling viewers on his Urban Fox Project in the heart of Bristol.
Wedding Photography
Recently moving into the wedding photography market Ian has taken his previous skill’s in photography and evolved and tailored them to this area. Always ensuring that the client using his skills are in charge and what style of image or themed images they are after he will deliver. Always meeting the couple and their family’s beforehand to discuss and ensure on the day he is recording the images they want and will treasure forever. Its such an import responsibility recording their special day I want the couple getting married to be at complete ease and feel rest assured I am capturing their beautiful day with a collection of beautiful images,” - Ian Wade 2009
