Bill Atkinson
Bill Atkinson was first inspired when he was a child as he used to cut out nature photographs out of magazines. This then led on to him producing some of the most beautiful pictures of Mother Nature. He hikes through deserts and forest, rain and show just to take his photographs. His career has also led him on to producing apps for Apple.
