With a life-long interest in natural history, Laurie Campbell (UK) began photographing wildlife in the early 1970's while still at school and in 1984 after completing a degree course in photography at Napier University in Edinburgh, he became Scotland's first full-time professional nature photographer.

His archive of over 160,000 images is
