As an artist Les Golding's primary interest is in the genre of documentary photography and as such Les would welcome approaches to discuss any ideas or proposals you may have at the development stage. Les is particularly interested in working with community groups, worker groups and religious groups but all suggestions would be given serious consideration.

Les Golding was born on March 11th 1956 in Sunderland, County Durham, England and I have worked as a professional photographer for over thirty years, specialising in photography for museums and art gallery's.

In 1994 Les Golding began studying part-time as a mature student at the University of Sunderland's School of Fine Art for a BA (Honours) degree in Photography, Video & Digital Imageing; graduating in 1999 with a 2:1 classification.

My wife and I have visited the Greek islands on a regular basis since 1979 and have developed a deep affection for the people and their culture. Because we have visited the islands so many times now I have built up an extensive collection of images which I decided to develop and include a page on my website (http://www.lesgoldingphotography.co.uk) and to add new images and islands on a regular basis.

To date we have visited Crete (four times), Santorini (five times), Kephalonia, Rhodes, Kos, Cyprus (twice), Lesbos, Corfu, Skiathos, Naxos, Paros.
