Jeremy Malley-Smith LRPS EFIAP DPAGB BPE3*
I became interested in wildlife as a teenager whilst watching David Attenborough’s wildlife programmes and I fell in love with photography following a holiday to The Gambia in the early 90s photographing weaver birds, mudskippers & mammals. I became an active member of the local camera club (Wigan Photographic Society) and enjoyed much success winning awards in the club along with several national and international awards. I was a member of Blackburn Camera Club for 7 years and a member of the prestigious Wigan 10 Foto-Club for 4 years helping them receive the FIAP Gold Medal for finishing 2nd best club in the world in the FIAP World Cup and winning the Maurice Dorikens Trophy for the most consistent club in the world three times. During that time, my images helped the club win the PAGB PDI Championship, the PAGB Print Championship, the L&CPU Annual Print Exhibition and other events
