David Maitland
David Maitland spent his childhood in the Scottish seaside town of St. Andrews, fishing, observing nature and beachcombing. He loves collecting stuff and still picks up natural bric-a-brac on his travels, a skeletonised leaf or a shed feather. He collected a Zoology degree from St. Andrews University and PhD in Zoology from the University of New South Wales, Australia.
"Nature photography allows me to capture the fleeting and ephemeral – the untouchable - to give me a closer, longer-lasting insight into the beauty and wonder of Nature. I never feel in conflict with Nature and usually feel most comfortable in the wild. If I can capture even an essence of this in my photographs then I am happy.
I now spend all my time photographing wonderful things, especially the quirkiness in a creatures' character or the beauty in Nature. In 2008 I won the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year (GDT) and 2 categories in the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year. My work has won numerous other international awards and has been widely published"
