Simon Fraser
I started photographing climbs and travels in South America and the Himalayas, before working for three years as a field safety guide with the British Antarctic Survey in the 1980s.
As a professional photographer I have worked on science, nature and environment assignments around the world. I live beside a deciduous woodland, below heather moorland in the heart of Northumberland National Park, and I enjoy beekeeping, organic gardening and mountaineering.
What I Do
My main focus is on landscape and environmental photography, from remote wilderness regions to tiny details of nature at home. My work is represented by Science Photo Library, a stock agency which distributes the very best scientific images and footage, and my images have been published in many countries worldwide.
I supply cards, prints and calendars to clients such as the National Trust, Eden Project, Tate St Ives, The Alnwick Garden and Northumberland National Park.
Portfolio
The collection is wide ranging, with images from all over the world including subjects such as the polar regions, volcanic eruptions, deserts, trees and forests, wild flowers, honeybees, mountains and glaciers, seascapes, wildlife, scientific research, pollution, and environmental topics.
