About
Hi, I'm David Kennard, a photographer currently based in Market Harborough, in the East Midlands, UK. Welcome to my photography website!
About this site
Here you can find photos I've taken covering a wide range of subjects, including insects, landscapes, and places I've visited, along with detailed metadata for each image and LARGE image sizes.
I also have incorporated a blog into the site, where I will be posting regular photography tips and tutorials on gear, technique, and post processing. I will also be posting regular updates with images that I've taken recently or just finished processing, and my thoughts on photography in general.
Licensing images
The large majority of images are licensable on a Rights Managed basis at competitive rates. I don't normally obtain model or property releases, so photographs of people or those taken on private property are not generally licensable. To check whether an image is available for licensing, please check the 'Licensing Status' (located under the 'Rights' heading) on the page for the image in question.
For charitable organisations fees may be waived or reduced at my discretion. Images will normally be supplied as a JPEG saved at maximum quality, though other formats (such as TIFF) are available on request.
For a quote please contact me with:
- A link to the photograph you are interested in licensing
- Your organisation name and details (a website address will suffice)
- Where you intend to display the image
- How large you intend to print or display the image at
- How many copies you intend to print or how many page impressions you estimate the page where the image will be displayed will receive
- The length of time the image will be displayed for
About my photography
Through my photography, I don't intend to create 'art', but rather to record the world around me. Having said that, I do still enjoy the more creative aspects of photography, especially exploring the options available when processing digital photographs.
Most of my images are just snapshots, taken quickly while out on a walk or looking for insects in the garden (most insects won't stay still for anything more than a snapshot). Thanks to my snapshot mentality, I have many photos from towns, villages, and the countryside, mainly around Sussex, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, but also other places I've visited, along with numerous photos of various species of insects. If you're looking for a photo of something and can't find it, please let me know - I may well have the photo that you are looking for, but not uploaded it to the website yet.
I also often have very similar shots to those on the website e.g. taken from a slightly different angle, or focus set at a slightly different point, so if you see an image you like, but would prefer a slightly different angle etc. please let me know.
Accuracy of image descriptions and identification
While I do my best to accurately identify Flora and Fauna, and try to describe images as accurately as possible, I cannot guarantee the validity of any identifications or descriptions.
Affiliate links
This site (mostly the blog) makes use of Affiliate Links. These are links where I receive a small commission if you click through the link and purchase something. The product or service in question won't cost you any more than it would do if you bought it straight from the site or via a non-affliate link, but the commission I receive helps go towards the costs of running this site.
