David Wilson An Unlikely Photographer

An Unlikely Photographer is the autobiographical account of David Wilson's journey from near death and a life-changing disability to establishing the photographic vision which he has used to capture the character of Wales's landscapes. Acclaimed for his striking black and white images of the nation's wildness and natural beauty, David Wilson's remarkable body of photographic work was almost never realised. Aged just eighteen, a tragic motorbike accident came close to costing him his life, and left it changed forever. Candid, witty and challenging, An Unlikely Photographer recounts David's progression from that pivotal moment, through the challenge of recovery and his ongoing battle with depression, to become one of Wales's finest landscape photographers.
