Description
Simon Baxter swapped extreme sports for photography 10 years ago and the world of image making is all the better for it. From his home in North Yorkshire he and his trusty dog Meg explore woodlands finding all manner of interesting compositions.

These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
