THE APPRENTICE

NAME: Chris Haliburton

CAMERA: Nikon D810 Chris is an aircraft mechanic who hails from the West Country, but recently relocated to Cornwall. He picked up his first Nikon, a D200, in Oman, when his Minolta couldn’t cope with the heat and he’s never looked back. His hobby has dwindled in recent years, but as retirement looms (only weeks away!) he’s looking forward to spending more time with his wife and getting back out there with his camera. If anybody can fuel the flame, it’s our experienced Nikon pro.

THE PRO

NAME: Jason Ingram

CAMERA: Nikon D850 Bristol-based Jason is a freelance photographer specializing in gardens and food. He graduated from Salisbury College of Art in 1992 and has been working in the photographic industry ever since. He has worked for a range of prestigious clients including BBC Gardeners’ World and Country Living magazines and The National Trust. He is also an experienced photography tutor.
