About
Simon Fraser’s photography began with expeditions in South America and the Himalayas whilst at university. His mountaineering experience led to employment with the British Antarctic Survey for three years in the 1980s as a Field Guide, assisting scientists in world leading polar research whilst prioritising safety in the most inhospitable environment on earth. On return to UK he launched into a freelance career in professional photography and has worked on science, nature and environment assignments around the world. He lives beside a deciduous woodland, below heather moorland in the heart of Northumberland National Park, and enjoys beekeeping, organic gardening and mountaineering.
Photography
Simon’s main interest is on landscape and environmental photography, from remote wilderness regions to tiny details of nature at home. His work is represented by Science Photo Library, a stock agency which distributes the very best scientific images and footage, and his images have been published in many countries worldwide. He also supplies cards, prints and calendars to clients such as the National Trust, Eden Project, Tate St Ives, The Alnwick Garden and Northumberland National Park.
