Nick Meers
Nick Meers (born 1955) is a British landscape photographer and is the co-author of many published books that include his photography.[1][2]
Meers grew up in the Cotswolds and was educated at Bryanston School in Dorset. He then trained as a photographer and works with landscape photography, including panoramic photography. During his career as a photographer, he has travelled to Europe and North America, but many of his photographs are of English landscapes. The National Trust holds many of his photographs.[3][4] He has taught in the UK and US. He is a member of the Association of Photographers and the International Association of Panoramic Photographers.[5]
For Panoramas of English Gardens, depicting twenty gardens, he used a panoramic camera, which necessitated composing the views both upside down and back to front with his head underneath a black cloth.[6] The result was an extreme wide angle view without visual distortion of the scene and "the first time that the printed page has been able to reproduce a true image of a garden viewed as a whole."[6]
