Prior to his retirement he was a freelance radio journalist and producer with the BBC for over 20 years, where he produced features, mainly about the countryside, for various programmes including ‘ Farming Today ‘ and the popular Radio 4 programme - ‘ A Small Country Living ‘. Through working for local radio in the south west he was able to delve deeply into the area and unearth a host of fascinating aspects of the region many of which feature in our Illustrated Guide Books of this beautiful corner of England.              Professional photographer Paul Savage has enjoyed a lifetime in photography which took him to many far flung corners of the world. When his worldwide travels ended he made Somerset his home and workplace. ‘ My wife and I fell in love with the County, especially the delightful Quantock Hills more than forty-five years ago. We loved it then and we still do today ‘. The natural Beauty of Somerset and the entire west country has long been at the heart of Paul’s photographic Work. Paul was born in Rutland, Englands smallest and arguably, prettiest County where his photographic career began. He was brought up to cherish the countryside around him and to love every season of the year. This childhood bond with the English countryside has never left him and is the inspiration for much of his photographic work. Paul Has a natural instinct for what makes a ‘ good photograph ‘ and all his images have that extra special ‘ something ‘ which evoke a mood, a sentiment or just sheer delight.
