Michael Gore
A former Army officer and diplomat who spent most of his working life overseas Michael has photographed wildlife in all seven continents. Though specialising in birds, his wide-ranging portfolio covers all aspects of the natural world. An amateur ornithologist, he is the author or co-author of the definitive works on the birds of Korea, Uruguay and The Gambia and during a tour of duty in Nairobi produced a best-selling guidebook On Safari in Kenya - A pictorial guide to the National Parks and Reserves illustrated with his own photographs. Many of his images have been published in books and for posters and calendars worldwide.
Now retired, he spends much of the year travelling photographing wildlife. He has a home in the pine forest in the Troodos mountains in Cyprus and goes there each year for the spring migration; in recent years he has visited the Antarctic, Arctic, USA, Canada, Central and South America, Africa, Japan and India.
He pioneered digital printing in the Portfolio and after 30 years taking transparencies has recently changed to a Canon D30 which he bought shortly before the D60 came out; subsequently he moved on to the D60 with which he is delighted. He is convinced that within five years most wildlife photographs will be digital.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and was elected President of the NPP Portfolio in 2001.
