About John Burton and IMAT

John BurtonMy name is John Burton and I live in North Dorset, England. Born in Shropshire, England about 50 years ago I was variously a farmer, game warden, dog warden and Environmental Health Officer. After 20+ years in local government I set up and ran my own trekking company in Nepal. I still trek widely and travel extensively.

Along the way I developed an interest in photography that has developed into a passion. I started entering competitions and in my first year won a number of competitions as well as going on to become runner up in the final of Digital Camera Magazine's Photographer of the Year 2006 - from an original entry of over 22,000.

Since then I have had work published widely in magazines like Digital Camera Magazine, The Dorset Magazine, Muse Magazine and The Daily Express.

I am usually available for all types of photographic work. Should you have a particular photographic need please get in touch.

Portraits of individuals, family groups and animals can be taken at your home or in my Dorset studio.

I do not normally undertake formal wedding photography as I find the traditional work too constraining. However, I have recently teamed up with Paul Quayle, an international photo journalist, and we know offer unigue wedding photography. see Dorset wedding photography
