Original concept and design by Garry R. James

Leigh has been involved in photography since 1980 when he joined the Ordnance Survey Photographic Society. He started working in colour slides and A/V, taking mainly landscapes and travel pictures until 1985, when monochrome work began to become an obsession.

He holds two RPS Fellowships, gaining a pictorial distinction in 1988, and in 1999, a Fellowship for photographic printing. He belongs to the ARENA group of photographers, based in Newbury, lectures all over the U.K. at clubs /societies /seminars and in Education.

A best selling book of his monochrome images, depicting Britain's Industrial landscapes, was published in 1993. He has had several one-man exhibitions in London, Dublin, Manchester, Birmingham and Belfast. Now semi-professional, he works as a photographic printer & college lecturer.

He still finds time to climb in the Scottish mountains and travels widely to take photographs. Leigh was elected a Salon member in 2000. More recently his monochrome and colour images concern themselves with atmosphere and out of the way places, often isolated and 'past their sell-by date'.

This series of images were taken in Georgia, Cuba, India and Scotland. Fine art prints of the images are available for purchasing, please contact Leigh at lcl.preston@lineone.net for further details, or visit Leigh's website, by clicking on the link above.
