A little about, Les Forrester; originally from Harrogate North Yorkshire, his early years were spent enjoying sport, football was his sole passion, Later he forged a successful career in the motor trade, not bad for a lad who left school at 15 with no qualifications. After a successful 25 years in the motor trade Les had earned the right to a life, so a career change into the Materials Handling industry with Toyota finally gave Les the life outside work, where his photography started. Les is a down to earth Yorkshire person. Some say he has an outspoken sense of humour, a bit on the dry side, his love travel often takes to the Far East, the cultures, and food both are the passions he loves besides photography. Other pleasures in life are simple, walking, food and wine. In truth nothing beats a night in with good food and a decent bottle of wine. His photography has evolved and will always continue to as new challenges come alone, improving with each step along this journey to produce work that has a passion about it, both for his clients and himself. |
