 Graham HobbsPhotography in the South West of the UK!Hello! And a warm welcome to my web site where I would like to share some of my favourite photos from my extensive collection with you. Having had a passion for photography since the early 1980s my portfolio is ever-increasing. From portraits to landscapes, wildlife to still-life, and from sunrises to live events where I try to capture the reality of the moment as it occurs.
I have lived in the West Country all my life. The glorious coastlines and wonderful, scenic landscapes of the South West provide a neverending source of inspiration for my photographic work. All these wonderful opportunities provide me and my ever faithful partners - my cameras - with the creative vision for my images!! Anticipation and originality play a key role in my photography and by trying to be one step ahead I have been rewarded with breathtaking and inspiring images. Sometimes it's a little luck but most of the time its down to sheer hard work and by being in the right place at the right time. I have been lucky to receive many awards for my photography over the years all of which are listed on a separate page on the site. I credit these to my passion, perseverance and an eye for perfection, but mainly to my sheer love of photography and a desire to show and share with those who see my photos the incredible beauty all around us. Through working closely within the community I have been rewarded with some especially original shots, for example, one of my favourites of a policeman with an ice-cream entitled "You're Licked". Another picture for which I received world-wide recognition and distribution was for a photograph with the RHS Rosemoor entitled "Poppies" for which I received The Medici Award for a good eye for commercial photography. I hope you enjoy viewing my photographs, these of course portraying what I see through my eyes and my camera lenses. Thank you for visiting the site and I hope you enjoy my work!

To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
Henri Cartier-Bresson
In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular . . . sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.
Ansel Adams
