Michael Busselle

Born in Sevenoaks, Kent, Busselle showed an early aptitude for portrait photography.

Although he initially worked with the Ministry of Defence, in 1957 he quit his post to become a full-time photographer.

Busselle eventually opened his own studio in Covent Garden in the early 1960s.

[1] Although successful with portrait and advertising assignments, by the 1980s he began to focus almost exclusively on travel and leisure photography, earning him several award-nominated compilations including The Wine Lover's Guide to France, runner-up for Wine Magazine's Book of the Year award, Landscape in Spain, runner-up in the Spanish Ministry of Tourism sponsored Otiz Ochague photography competition, and French Vineyards, an André Simon Book of the Year nominee.

[2] Busselle was a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and a regular contributor to several magazines such as The Sunday Express, Connoisseur and Atlantic Monthly.
