GARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY
OUR STORY
Garden Photography Gallery was founded by myself
Stephen Studd
AWARD WINNING GARDEN AND TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER
Up until 2020 I had travelled the world for 30+ years as a pro travel photographer, photographing amazing places around our planet.
THEN COVID STRUCK
During the pandemic I reassessed the travel photography part of my business as travel was not possible and being self employed my income stopped. Sometimes in life, we are stopped doing the things we love to reassess and reflect about what we have been doing, the pandemic certainly did this for many of us. Yes, the lifestyle of a travel photographer appears glamorous, but it takes it's toll too, long periods of time away from home, long days and it's quite a lonely job too.
MY GARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY
I had started to branch out away from my travel photography in 2009 when I was commissioned to photograph herbs for a book The Medicine Garden by Rachel Corby.
On reflection, I had already started to look into a way out of travel photography and during lockdowns my garden and allotment were my place to nourish my mental wellbeing, my soul and my heart.
BARNEY AND GARDEN PHOTOGRAPHY GALLERY
My wife and myself had always wanted a dog, but with our lifestyle and work this had never been possible. After lockdowns ended in 2021, Barney our English Springer Spaniel came into our lives and everything changed, the idea for the Garden Photography Gallery was birthed.
I am so happy and content that I made the decision to leave travel photography behind. I have happily ditched my suitcase and travel photography to spend more time with my wife and Barney and grow this business.
MY VISION
I am still a working professional garden photographer and have always loved the beautiful planet we call home and my garden photography now keeps me in the UK, discovering more of where I live.
I have a passion for photographing flowers and plants and always ask their permission before I take any photos, out of respect and politeness, my photography truly comes from the heart.
Since I started the business, it has grown and so has Barney.
