He’s explored deserts, trekked through rainforests, climbed some of the highest mountains and crossed ice caps. If you haven’t heard of David Noton by name, you’ll have almost certainly come across his pictures in magazines, exhibitions or maybe you even have a print hanging on your living room wall. The award-winning landscape and travel photographer has over 26 years of experience and has seen his work printed in publications around the world and enjoyed enormous exhibition success, his latest attracting an astonishing 27,000 visitors. David’s photography career began following a stint in the military, after which he decided to follow his true passion and took up a college course in editorial and advertising photography. In his final year, having his photos printed as posters by Athena was the confirmation he needed and it marked the beginning of his now incredibly successful career. Seeing his photos professionally printed for the first time gave David an undeniable buzz, one that he still gets to this day. “You can’t beat looking at an image as a big, beautiful print; for most of us it’s that kick that got us into photography in the first place,” explains David. Having racked up enough air miles and been on enough adventures to last a lifetime, it’s the prints that are the true trophies of his globe-trotting photographic quests. “Let’s face it we spend much of our time looking at images on a screen, but it is so much more rewarding to see them as prints hanging on a wall; there is an undeniable feel of quality and tangible worth to a print.” “Having been a pro for a long time, it has been a struggle to get decent quality prints,” says David. Shooting on a Canon EOS 5D Mk III, David gets the exceptional in-camera detail he needs and now with the Canon PIXMA PRO-1 printer he can produce the high-quality prints he wants too. “Now at the click of a mouse you can get exhibition-quality prints – it’s a liberation,” exclaims David. “The PIXMA PRO-1’s in-
