Short biog
A long-held passion for the natural world informs my photography and writing.

After training at Manchester Metropolitan University, I graduated with a BA Hons in Fine Art. This experience means that I approach image making with an artistic sensibility, using natural light to create bold and memorable compositions.

I have contributed images to many books and magazines, written and illustrated articles for magazines, exhibited in galleries and work on commissioned projects.


Business interests
I run an extensive photographic library, some of which can be viewed at www.fran-halsall.co.uk, supplying images for editorial, books, calenders and for other commercial uses.

I contribute articles for magazines on both landscape character and environmental themes.

I produce and supply Peak District themed greetings cards to local outlets and they are also available online.

I teach workshops on landscape photography on location in the Peak District.

Professional activities
Freelance landscape and nature photographer and writer. Specialising in the habitats and history of the British Isles. I can be commissioned for a variety of projects, both small and largescale.
