Emma Campbell shoots fine-art equine portraiture, capturing the special relationship that horses and their owners have. 

The end product of her shoots is a high-quality print that clients can put on their walls, and Campbell’s catchment area takes in the south of Scotland, the north of England and the Midlands.

Niall is the editor of Digital Camera Magazine, and has been shooting on interchangeable lens cameras for over 20 years, and on various point-and-shoot models for years before that. 

Working alongside professional photographers for many years as a jobbing journalist gave Niall the curiosity to also start working on the other side of the lens. These days his favored shooting subjects include wildlife, travel and street photography, and he also enjoys dabbling with studio still life. 

On the site you will see him writing photographer profiles, asking questions for Q&As and interviews, reporting on the latest and most noteworthy photography competitions, and sharing his knowledge on website building.
