Let Me Introduce Myself..

Hello there.. my name is Al Saunders and im a keen photographer.. and have been for well over twenty years.. when i was given my first camera as a teenager and have not stopped snapping away since.. What's with The Bare Naked Photographer bit, you wonder? Well for the last few months i have suffered with the annoying and frustrating illness of Anxiety.. and my photography has become a way for me to cope with the illness.. The reason i say Bare Naked as too me it is the best way to desrcibe how it can make me feel.. as sometines although i have family and friends around me supporting me, it can feel like im bare naked and very alone.. when im not.. its hard to describe it really.. but that is the only way i can translate how it feels.. Okay.. now.. so this blog will feature my images and my adventures in photography and to also be a bit different from the rest i will incorparte how my anxiety is tamed by the use of photography.. I am a student of all aspects of the photographic world, but i like artistic and creative styles of photography.. aswell as landscape and portrait.. and i would most surley see myself as an unconventional photographer, as i dont exactly follow the rules of photography.. as im not a technique man.. more of a natrualistic photographer and this is shown in my images..

here are my first two images to post.. the first was taken last year in Andulicia in Spain of a Siberian Tiger.. the other is of my photographer friend Graham.. taken whilst chilling at the Photography Show this year at the NEC in birmingham.. AL
