Clive Nichols is one of my favorite garden photographers. And he's shot at many of the very best gardens in England and on the continent, such as Nicole de Vesian's in Provence, France (pictured). It's nice, every so often, to visit his site, and wade through the thousands of pictures he has online. I always find inspiration--sometimes for making gardens, sometimes for making pictures. Clive also wrote a top notch how-to garden photography book: Photographing Plants & Gardens. For my money, it provides a lot more practical advice than his recent, stunning
The Art of Flower & Garden Photography

Oh-My-God! That is just so unbelievably beautiful! I just visited his site (thanks for the link) and had a look at his photos. Well, he's got a fan here in India now.
Thank you for introducing me to him.
I bought the book shortly after my husband gave me a fab new digital SLR for my birthday.
It's well worth buying.
I had the opportunity to meet Clive a couple times and actually take a photography class from him when I lived in England. The book is top notch...second only to take a class directly from him!
I´m very happy for this post. I´ve recognized one garden I saw long time ago in one magazine due to it. Its designer is Terry Malley and it looks truly as a piece stolen from the Eden. Thank you.
Sunita--I'm sure the network of Clive's fans is ever growing. Glad you enjoyed the link.
Zoe-So has it made much difference in your approach to garden photography? It's easy to enjoy for the picture alone, without taking any of his advice.
Rochelle-How cool is that? I'd think a class from him would be quite inspiring.
Hmm, Jana--How might I find a picture of that garden? You've got me intrigued.
