Mike Read

I am a freelance nature photographer specialising in birds, flowers, mammals and other wildlife as well as landscapes.  I live on the western edge of the fabulous New Forest National Park in southern England and have a wide range of images of wildlife, traditions and views from this unique area.

Having worked as a freelance photographer for over 40 years I have built up a huge library of stunning images which are available for publication or as prints up to A3 size. Also, I am represented by four photographic agents namely RSPB Images, Alamy  (this link takes you directly to my searchable portfolio page), Nature Picture Library and have recently joined the New Forest area specialist agency New Forest Stock Imagery which stocks both still and moving images of this fabulous National Park.  I am also able to supply these and other images direct to publishers myself (see my published pictures section for examples).  As I cannot show all of my images on my web site, if you are seeking images for publication, I would be happy to respond to your requirements list with a quantity of low resolution sample images and I can then send you high resolution pictures once you have let me know what you have selected.  Your list can be sent to me via my Contact Me page.

I also give illustrated talks within 40 minutes drive of my home in Ringwood, Hampshire and have over a dozen subjects for you to choose from.  These are all illustrated by my own acclaimed photography and given in person with a light, informative commentary.

I hope you enjoy browsing my site and if you have any queries, suggestions or requests, I would be happy to hear from you.
