Steve Davey is a photographer and writer, based in London. Blessed and cursed in equal measure with a low boredom threshold, he has turned travel photography into a way of life, as well as a career.
Steve first got hooked on photography at school. The mix of creativity and technicality seemed to suit his personality and he realised that photography could make a good lifestyle: leaving school during the day was forbidden but, if he was stopped with a camera, he could just say that he was off to take some photos. He has used this excuse ever since and, remarkably, people still believe it.
Steve is the author and principal photographer of Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die and Unforgettable Islands to Escape To Before You Die, both published by BBC Books. Between them, these titles have been published in almost 30 language editions.
Steve’s most recent book is Footprint Travel Photography (Footprint Handbooks, 2008). This extensive guide covers almost everything that you could ever want to know about the practicalities and technicalities of travel photography, including post-processing. Click here for more information.
Steve writes regular travel photography features for Wanderlust Magazine in the UK and for Get Lost Magazine in Australia and blogs regularly for the Virgin vTravelled website.
