David Hixon & Picture Devon

Born and raised in Brixham, Devon I feel very lucky to be surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery in the South West of England. It really is a photographers dream. The majority of Photos featured on the site are taken within a 5 minute walk or within an hours drive from my home.
Originally I trained in Graphic Design, becoming a qualified graphic designer an area which I'm still involved through Greenthing Design from Plymouth College of Art & Design in the late 90s. I started at Scriptit Ltd as a junior designer and over the years. I started getting involved with photography first as a hobby then as more and more people commented on my pictures it persuaded me that I should find a way to distribute and sell my photographs. This way hopefully everyone who shares my same enthusiasm for Devon or even just an appreciation of the striking images will be able to purchase these prints.
