Meet Your Guide…
All events & lessons are thoughtfully delivered by myself, Rich Bunce aka Walking Photographer. I’ve been a professional photographer for over 15 years, and have been sharing my photography skills and tips for a similar amount of time. With over 3000 signups since founding Walking Photography - I’ve learnt to adjust my approach according to the individuals I meet, helping them feel more confident with their camera and creativity.
-
After GCSEs I headed straight to art college where I studied for a National Diploma, Higher National Diploma & a BA (hons) in Photography & Digital Imaging
-
I have been a freelance photographer for over 15 years working in a variety of genres and disciplines from weddings, corporate events and author portraits to magazine editorial features and archive photography for museums. In recent years I have been working more and more with UK conservation charities, businesses and organisations.
-
I have been lucky enough to feature in exhibitions and publications for a diverse range of photography and arts competitions. More recently I have had highly commended awards in the International Garden Photographer of the Year, British Wildlife Photographer of the Year (including the a catergory winning image in 2020), Royal Photographic Society International Print Awards (including a print in the permanent collection) and have made the long list in the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize.
-
I have been fascinated and obsessed with photography since receiving a 110 film camera bought for me by my Mum in the Avon catalogue. Since then I’m enjoyed exploring a wide range of photography subjects, but maybe the unifying theme for me is the idea of recording a slice of time in a single frame.
