Where my photos have been used
As well as hanging on people's walls, my photos have been used in other more commercial contexts, some of which are listed below.
River Cottage Preserves handbook
I stepped in to help the author who was missing some photos at the last minute before publication! I also contributed quite a number of local produce shots to the River Cottage photo library (hedgerow fruits and flowers, wild garlic, and other seasonal goodies). You can buy the book here.
Long Barn Lavender
I have spent some time on this lavender farm near Winchester in Hampshire, documenting the flowering plants, and the fascinating process by which they are converted into lavender oil for use in soap, perfume, and other home and beauty products. They have used my field and product images on their web site, for greetings cards, and an exhibition stand and press pack at the Country Living Fair.
We thought you'd like to know that many people at the fair have been admiring your photographs, and best of all, I hope you will be delighted to learn that your talents contributed to the Long Barn stand winning the Editor's Choice award - i.e. the best stand in the show

Lyme Bay Winery
Local images of scenery, fruit trees and fields are used for the 2006-2007 trade and retail brochures for this local company, which makes delicious fruit wines, cordials and ciders. The photos were chosen to remind people of summer visits, and encourage them to buy something to remind them of their stay. The company is committed to supporting local producers and looking after the land, which is very much in accordance with my own views! Find out more at http://www.lymebaywinery.co.uk.
Happy Accidents CD cover
This came about as the result of serendipity and Google. While surfing I came across your photos & could not help but laugh out loud when I read how this photo was a happy accident for you...this whole project has been full of these little happy accidents ...
... the band loves the story behind the picture and the image itself. Please, have a peek at sites for a couple of band members & have a listen ... http://www.deandrouillard.com (our guitar player & singer), http://www.adamwarner.com (our drummer who plays acoustic guitar & sings), and http://www.genehardy.com (me).
Images for promotional postcards
Three images were used on a set of postcards to be given away from TICs and other similar venues. Part of the campaign to promote the South West as a sustainable tourist destination run by Future Footprints. As a local resident, I donated these to this good cause.
Illustrations for Firsts magazine
An article about collecting the works of the author John Fowles, who lives in Lyme, was illustrated with black and white prints of one of my best-sellers: Surf's up, and a general view of the seafront at Lyme on a sunny day. You can see more details about the article on the Firsts web site.
Illustrations for hotel brochure
Six local scenic views were used in the 2006 and 2007 brochures, and web site, for the Hotel Alexandra, to show visitors some of the delights of staying in this part of the world.
Local views for a holiday cottage web site
About ten photos are used in the banner section of the web site for Madeira Cottage in Lyme Regis. (Requires Flash plugin to work, so you may not be able to see them.)
