Biographies
Simon McBeath has been a professional
freelance writer and photographer since 1994, specialising in motorsport
technology and illustrating many of his own articles and books (www.sm-designs.co.uk).
But he has been involved in photography since childhood when his
father taught him how to use the family Ilford Sportsman 35mm camera,
in which the usual fodder was Agfa 50 ASA transparency film. So
shutter speeds and F-stops became familiar at an early age! Many
cameras down the road, much of Simon's work-related photography
has been largely 'documentary' in nature although his role as press
officer for his local motorsport venue, Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb
(www.gurstondown.org), has
generated thousands of action photos too. But much of his satisfaction
comes from the photographic expeditions made with wife Tracey in
the UK and abroad, or even just in the garden or countryside around
their rural home in central southern England.
