Derbyshire-based award-winning photographer ASHLEY FRANKLIN ARPS, ABPPA, APAGB offers a wide spectrum of photographic services

Welcome to the world of a major, award-winning and extremely modest image maker. It's a smaller world now, though I like to think small is beautiful. I have just spent 20 years as a pro photographer, photographing everyone from royalty to rough sleepers and everyone inbetween - butchers, bakers and, yes, even candlestick makers. However, I have gradually reduced my commercial work to, er... 'focus' on other photo-related commitments.

I am going to concentrate on my Photo Art which can be purchased here on this site.  Just click on Galleries and then Photo Art Prints.

I have also written about and photographed 19 circular walks for a book entitled Derbyshire Ramblings, which you can buy here on this site - click here - and have just finished work on the first ever photo book of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Click here to learn more

I also run Under Tuscan Skies, an annual workshop in May and October in the Val D'Orcia, Tuscany with landscape photographers Wayne Birttle and Ian Daisley.  Read all about it on my Tuscany page. 

I present a talk Under A Tuscan Sky to camera clubs along with talks about my photography as well as a two-part talk on photography in general covering its history and genres such as advertising, war, documentary and science and nature photography plus a section on the controversial world of photo art.  I also give talks to WIs, U3A, Probus groups etc., about Derbyshire Life and garden and flower photography.  To read more and to view the glowing testimonials, click here
