To quote the soubriquet used in his introduction as key speaker at the 2023 Prize Giving, ‘Mr Snax’ (a.k.a. Ian R C Cowie) likes to be known for his Foodie connections, but many years in sound and vision at the BBC left their mark, and he is also known for his artistic endeavour in photography.

Given that he devoted five years of his life to the Presidency of the RHS Club, weathering COVID and its inevitable toll on school life, also recording on video the experiences of staff and pupils (click here for the latest version), the editor thought it only fair that he be awarded a photo gallery of his recent work, where the topic headings include ‘The Moon, ‘Night Sky’, ‘Wildlife’, ‘Fishing’ and ‘Photographic Equipment’.

Ian’s photographic equipment used to create these images includes the following:

Cameras:

Sony AR7V
Sony A9
