About Northern Focus

My name is Simon Watterson and I am outdoor photographer and writer from Bangor, County Down in Northern Ireland. I specialise in landscape photography, wildlife photography and other forms of outdoor photography. Northern Focus is the showcase for a small number of my landscape, wildlife and other outdoor photographs that I have selected from my growing stock of images from Northern Ireland and beyond.

If you are looking for high quality images of Northern Ireland then I can provide this for you - either from my existing stock of images or by creating an image specifically for you. I can also provide copy to accompany the images.

My approach to photography is a highly personal one. I seek first to understand the subject and then convey that through the image. This search for understanding is the underlying principle of my approach to photography and my business relationships.

I have always been curious about how and why things work. This is what first led me into a career in science and it didn't take long until I had my first publication in that field. After some time I moved from scientific research into a teaching and trouble-shooting role for a innovative Canadian company and found that it wasn't always sufficient to understand the technical and scientific reasons behind a problem - sometimes the problem was simply a local cultural problem that needed to be understood and, once understood, was relatively simple to resolve. Understanding your requirements and the subject to be covered is key to providing you with a quality product and service.

If you would like to know more about how I can help you, or to make an enquiry then please contact me. Once I understand your requirements I'll let you know how I can meet your needs - and if, for any reason, I can't meet those needs I'll be honest with you and tell you because that is what is best for both of us.
