Adrian Davies is a passionate naturalist and conservationist, combining these passions with photography to investigate how insects "see" plants through ultraviolet techniques. He has written 10 books, including Digital Imaging for Photographers, The Focal Digital Imaging A-Z, and Close-Up and Macro Photography. After a 27 year career as a senior lecturer in the photography and imaging department at NESCOT College in the UK, he now works as a freelance photographer, running workshops for organisations such as the Royal Horticultural Society and the Royal Photographic Society, and giving lectures to camera clubs and natural history societies.
