A native of Southport, England with over twenty years of experience, Gareth Rockliffe has achieved international recognition for his soulful landscape photography and has exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe.

Early in his career, the Kodak Company of the United Kingdom bought a number of his limited edition images to promote photography as a true art form to its public, the success of which brought about the World Wildlife Fund’s interest in using his unique images of wildlife on postal stamps.
