About Me

My name is Sam Gbel I was born in Cheltenham. Right in the heart of the Cotswolds, I was always surrounded by wildlife and beautiful backdrops of fields and woodlands.  For much of my childhood I took a lot of photos of my family and pets, so when I reached an age to go to college, I was able to take my hobby further. At the time we were still using film camera’s which meant developing your own images in a dark room. This was great fun and very rewarding. There was none of this digital camera and photoshop technology we have today. Basically the image you take, is the image you have. You can play about with the lighting but very limited on editing. This has led me to keeping my photos as natural as they are, Just using a few tweaks.
