Michael Huggan Photography

Michael Huggan Photography Welcome to the Official Michael Huggan Photography page. Michael has been photographing Action, Sports, Nature and Wildlife for over 20 years.

His photography started some 20 years earlier, honing his skills with black and white processing. Michael’s articles & images have appeared in a number of magazines. Michael is a member of The Royal Photographic Society (RPS). Awards from various societies have been in the form of Gold and Bronze medals, plus numerous ribbons and commendations. Exhibitions and displays play a big part in Michael’

s activities. “The big advantage with displaying your pictures, people can see what a picture will look like on their wall, or as a gift to someone. I often loan out pictures to people so they can see what a big picture will look like in their house.” Says Michael. Michael’s formal education and for much of his life, he practiced as a charted mechanical engineer. Over his informative years he developed a passion for photography that has brought him to where he is today- totally immersed in all things photographic! Over Michael’s early years he was very fortunate to meet several people who were extremely helpful with photography and gave him direction and purpose. How to look at a picture, what did you see when looking through the viewfinder and why did you take it? A question Michael often asks of photographers who are taking their photography more seriously. Michael resides in Hampshire, England, UK with his wife, surrounded by Charley the dog, two horses and at the last count, seven grandchildren. – Now there’s a photographic challenge! All Michael’s photographic activities are featured within the ‘Blog’ section on this site. Michael provides a full range of prints, canvas pictures, cards, stock photography and other accessories. Michael also hosts regular exhibitions and talks. Michael is available for personal assignments such as photographing an event you may be organising.

DW Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Race - Thameside 2. Caversham to Marlow.
A selection of images from the above race. The race started at Reading Rowing Club and the view from Caversham Bridge was amazing. I was able to get all the canoes from two mass starts. Other images are from Marsh Lock and the finish at Marlow.

Michael Huggan recommends Saal Digital Photo Book

I received a voucher from Saal-Digital UK to produce a photo book from their “Professional Line” series. From the options available I chose an Acrylic front page, glossy format and a size of 30cm x 21cm. The pages are ‘lay flat’ so when the book is opened both pages lie flat. This format is super for panoramic or where the image spans the centre spline.

I have produced many photo books using various manufacturers, so I am familiar with the type of layouts generally available. I am please to say the Saal Digital software is easy to use. There are a few quirky areas that took me a little time to familiarise myself with. I used the manual format where I inserted each image onto the page, sized and placed it where desired.

After selecting and inserting my images I pressed the ‘Buy” button, paid and waited for the book to arrive. One very good point I do like is when you proceed to purchase a window pops up warning you of, text margins too close, the cut off line and the text box is too small. What a super idea. However, I did miss a trick as the image on my front cover does not spread over the complete page but left a white margin on the right side. This will not happen on my next book!

My photo book arrived within a few days which was most impressive. Upon opening the package and removing the book from the protective sleeve, my initial reaction was absolutely stunning. Looking through the book I was amazed at the sheer quality of each image - I was blown away. The images I selected spanned a number of years (17 in total) and regardless of age all the images on each page looked crisp and sharp.

The Saal Digital Photo Book is the best I have produced and very pleased to give a five star recommendation.

Attached are a few photos that will give you an indication of the quality of the book. Please bear in mind the images shown on screen do not really reflect the superb quality of the book.
