One of Cornwall's most respected photographers, David Chapman has lived in the county for some twenty years, and is a trustee of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust. A passion for photography and wildlife led him to write features for a number of magazines, and he has twice won double awards from the Outdoor Writers' Guild for photography and writing. His work is published regularly in Bird Watching magazine, Natural World, BBC Wildlife, and Bird Art and Photography, among others. He is the author of Wild about Cornwall, Penwith Moods, Exploring the Cornish Coast, Birds of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Wildflowers of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, St Ives and St Ives Bay, Inspirational Islands: The Isles of Scilly, A Cornish Year, and Walking in Penwith (all published by Alison Hodge). His photographs are stocked by a number of photographic libraries.
