I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination
Albert Einstein
Hi my name is Royston Packer (DPAGB.AWPF LSINWP), I live in Doncaster,South Yorkshire. I have had a life long passion for nature and photography. My business career took me away from my passion for almost a quarter of a century, time only allowing me to dabble!
In 2000 I had the opportunity to set up my own media company producing film for the private and public sectors. This enabled me to rekindle my interests in imagery. I had the good fortune to work alongside of a very talented BBC wildlife cameraman, Graham Horder. I am a multi International Award winning photographer.
Now retired I have devoted my time to all things photography. I travel extensively in pursuit of my photography. I am a passionate traveler to India. Tigers are high on my list of subjects.
In November 2016 I was awarded a Double Associate of The Welsh Photographic Federation, both digital and Print Images.
On November 27th I gained DPAGB Distinction by The Photographic Alliance of Great Britain. A very prestigious award. Proud to have been awarded both of these Distinctions.
My main interest is wildlife photography. However all aspects of photography interest me.
