Photo-Text Packages

 

In 1998, I started packaging my photography and text into single articles for British Heritage Magazine. This turned into a winning combination, and the series has now extended to more than 60 articles about British travel and history.

Key to this is my ability to produce both text and photography to your order, on deadline, at a very high quality. For an example of this, view my photo-text package on Lady Godiva, commissioned by British Heritage and published by them in January 2001.

The game changes when you need a book-length package — and I've has done three of them, with two more under contract. Countryman Press, WW Norton's travel imprint, contracted with me to write and photograph two titles in their Explorers Guide series, The Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains (now in its 3nd edition), and The Shenandoah Valley and the Mountains of the Virginias (issued in April 2005); each of these approaches 200,000 words and 100 images. In addition, they are publishing my Photographer's Guide to the Blue Ridge Parkway in Spring 2010 and two more titles in 2011. When you need to produce a package of this sort, organization and revision take over as the primary challenges. In this, I am a tested and proven commodity.
