David Taylor is an award-winning landscape and travel photographer, who was born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne and now lives in the ancient market town of Hexham, Northumberland. He took his first photograph at the age of 14, when his parents gave him a Kodak Instamatic for Christmas, and he has been taking photographs ever since.

David's work has taken him all over the world, from the sun-kissed beaches and aqua seas of Zanzibar to the bright chill of northern Sweden in the depths of winter. But his first love remains the wild countryside and rugged coastline of his home county of Northumberland, which he has photographed extensively, and which he continues to delight in exploring.

His images from this region have been used in publicity materials by local councils and tourism organisations, as well as by the Northumberland National Park Authority in its publicity and marketing materials. These photos and many more are available from the image libraries that represent him: Alamy, Collections and Photolibrary.

David's work has appeared in a number of national magazines. He regularly writes articles and provides photography for 'Beautiful Britain' magazine, as well as writing and illustrating a monthly regional walk for 'North East Life'. He is also a frequent contributor to 'Living North'.
