David Shaw was born in Sunderland. He, and his wife Angela, have two grown-up children, Rosalyn and Simon. As an electronics engineer, David spent his working life employed by major multi-nationals. When UK manufacturing was cut back in 2005, David was made redundant, but took up digital photography and has since had some of his pictures published and many more hang on people’s walls. He has a life-long interest in fell walking, mostly in the Lake District and Teesdale.
