James Dobson

Portrait of James Dobson

Website
www.jamesdobsonphotography.co.uk

I was born and grew up in Oxford and first got a taste for photography while on work experience at what was then, Oxford Scientific Films. I went on to study Biological Imaging at the University of Derby, after which I spent 5 years as a Technical Illustrator in the Science and Medicine department at Oxford University Press. There I learnt the basics of scanning and digital image manipulation.

Since joining National Trust Images back in 2005 (then known as NTPL) I have been able to develop my own photographic skills and style while having the good fortune of working with, and learning from, many of the fantastic photographers you will find on this site.
