Thank you for visiting www.ukwildlifephotographer.co.uk
I guess you have clicked on this link because you want to know more about the person behind the photographs which appear on this web site? Well here goes!!
My name is Steve Cheshire. I've been interested in wildlife since I was a kid. My granddad used to take me for walks every Sunday when we visited my grandparents and its something I will never forget. These walks combined with outings to the countryside with my mum, dad and brother instilled a love for wildlife and the outdoors from a young age.
Collecting caterpillars was one pastime I really enjoyed despite falling in Stinging Nettles looking for the caterpillars of the Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell and rubbing my eyed after collecting hairy moth caterpillars which irritated my skin so much that I could hardily see for several days!
Art School and the University where I studied Archaeology gaining a BSc Hon's Degree in Archaeological Sciences from the University of Bradford put paid to my interest in wildlife during my late teens until my mid 20's. The advent of affordable digital camera's rekindled my enthusiasm allowing me to record my sightings and by 2005 I was well and truly hooked on nature and the environment once again.
The photography side of things has played an important role in my interest ever since. I run the hugely successful web site www.britishbutterflies.co.uk which features my photographs and those of my partner Debbie.
I'm also a committee member for the Warwickshire Branch of Butterfly Conservation and also designed and run their web site:
www.warwickshire-butterflies.org.uk.
Outside of wildlife, I am a director of Brimstone Design & Print Ltd which specialises in publishing greeting cards and fine art
prints and also a director of 3's Company (Consultancy) Ltd which specialises in design, illustration and publication within
the UK archaeology and heritage sector. |
