About the Author

Born in Bibury in 1965, the youngest of three brothers, Ray spent his first seven years of childhood in the village, where home overlooked a cornfield and although memories of stubble bombs, straw bale houses, pram wheeled go-karts are now distant, he still visits the village frequently to capture it through the camera. His local knowledge of the village and surroundings plus a talented, expert eye for a landscape photograph is evident throughout his book. Today Ray works as a freelance photographer in and around the South West of England, so it seemed a good idea to combine this along with a keen interest in landscape photography to design, produce and photograph the village of Bibury, which has so many beautiful vista's.
