John Gardner ARPS is a professional photographer specialising in high quality nature and landscape photographs. As a naturalist he has travelled extensively throughout the world in search of birds, visiting countries and continents as diverse as China, India, North Africa, the Middle East, Europe and most of North America at one time or another.

Despite being interested in natural history from a very early age, he only seriously turned to photography in about 1992, although throughout his travels he'd usually carried a camera as a means of recording some of the many spectacular places he'd visited and the stunning wildlife encountered. Most of the results of this early photography is destined only for the waste basket and serves only as personal reminders. Certainly none of it is available for public consumption.

John Gardner's photographs and features have appeared in Photo Answers, Birdwatching, British Birds, Terre Sauvage (France), Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Wildlife & Countryside Magazine, various books and postcards and have been used by The Scottish Seabird Centre, Institute of Biology, English Nature, English Heritage, RSPB, ECUS, Barnsley MBC, Wakefield MDC, Woolworths, Morrisions and Bemrose Booth. He also markets his own range of greetings cards and sell limited edition cibachrome and digital prints of my work and have a very busy lecture schedule.
