Book Photographer of the Year, Garden Media Guild Awards 2009

I have been taking photographs of gardens professionally since 1999. I took the photographs for "Discovering Welsh Gardens" written by Stephen Anderton, which was published this year.

I am a member of the Garden Media Guild and Garden Photographers Association and am the only photographer member of the Guild who also has a garden which is open regularly to the public.

My work is feature-led; I photograph gardens and nurseries for articles in magazines and newspapers. My work has appeared in many gardening and lifestyle magazines. I have also contributed pictures to several books, most recently 28 pictures including the front cover in "Garten-Zeiten' by Somerset based Heidi Howcroft, and I will be making a major contribution to her next book. I have been photographing the International Gardens Festival at Chaumont-sur-Loire every year since 1999 and have over 1500 images of Chaumont alone.

I am currently working on a book with Anne Wareham: 'The Bad-Tempered Gardener'.

I am also an inspector for the Good Gardens Guide.

Anne Wareham

I am a garden writer for newspapers and garden magazines, garden consultant and web editor of www.thinkingardens.co.uk.

I appeared on television as a judge in the series 'Britain's Best Home and Garden' on Channel 5 September/October 2008.

I have been campaigning for the past ten years for a renaissance in British gardens, focusing on encouraging serious reviews of gardens and on returning gardens to their place amongst the fine arts in British culture. I am a founder member of thinkingardens which is an organisation, supported by the Royal Horticultural Society which is dedicated to this proposition.

I am currently writing 'The Bad-Tempered Gardener' for Frances Lincoln.

And I am generally a thorn in the flesh of the garden world.
