John Fairclough - Natural History and Wildlife Photographer
Who Are John & Carol?
John and Carol Fairclough are the principle directors and proprietors of Fotographic Images and Fotographic Images 4U Ltd respectfully. They have been married for many years, in which time they have been blessed with two great Children, and two brilliant grandchildren. John has always been involved in and around the arts and music industry for the majority of his working life.
They have been in business together for over 27yrs, before being successfully bought out. Their original business was to create the largest audiocassette duplication company, in the North of England. In more recent years they became involved in the production of CDs and DVDs. John was very involved in the re-writing and re-introduction of the Copyright & Patent Act 1988 for the music industry.
Johns photography started back in 1988, when Carol found him a hobby. Possibly to get him out from under her feet!! Throughout the years, Johns photographic achievements have gone from strength to strength, resulting in being extremely competitive at a professional level. One of Johns highest achievments was to win first prize in an international wild life competition, that took him to the Falkland Islands.
Its not uncommon to see them out on a shoot, although Carol does not get involved with the actual taking of the pictures. John always claims that Carols most important role is as his second pair of eyes.
As a professional duo they always work well together. Their basic rolls are that John takes care of the photography, post production and final printing, whilst Carol gets very involved in the research, image selection/critic, and accounts.
This very brief biography tends to emphasise one main point. They are a very determined, successful and genuine couple who give nothing less than 100% to anything they commit to.
If you have any concerns or more specific questions or proposals, please do not hesitate in contacting John and Carol via the contact section. They will always be very pleased to hear from you.
