Top mountain photographer touring the UK this autumn and winter.
One for the diary with the news that internationally acclaimed outdoor
photographer
John Beatty
is touring the UK with his show
Wild
Vision: Images and Stories from the Wilderness this autumn
and winter.
Beatty has been taking outstanding nature, travel and adventure
photographs for over 20 years now in over 38 different countries. He's
spent seven months spent in Antarctica with the British Antartic
Survey, a winter in Spitzbergen where he surveyed 350 kilometres of
untracked arctic mountains and glaciers and a four hundred mile
unsupported sled traverse of the Greenland Icecap.
Before becoming a professional photographer, John cultivated a passion
for rock climbing in Britain and the Alps, later climbing virgin peaks
in Chamba region of Himachal Pradesh on the Kashmir/North India border
and making the 3rd Winter Traverse of Cuillin Ridge, Skye.
His love of climbing and photography lead to John capturing some of the
key moments of the development of rock-climbing as a sport. He spent 3
years photographing Ron Fawcett, including his key development of
Malham and Gordale and photography during the making of 'The Fingertip
Phenomenum'. He photographed the developmental explorations of Ben
Moon, Martin ‘Basher’ Atkinson and Chris Gore, and his commercial photo
shoots have included capturing Ian Vickers on Gogarth and recording
John Dunne’s controverisal climb, The Big Issue in Pembroke.
Wild Vision
is a chance to hear about his extraordinary life and see some
outstanding images along the way.
John will be playing at 19 venues this autumn/winter. For links to each
