Into The Lens was created by Simon Palmer to provide outstanding photographic works and film footage of the animal world.

Simon and Monty Roberts
His in-depth understanding of animal behaviour enables him to get ‘that extra shot’, giving viewers a unique experience. Simon is privileged to work as cameraman on tour with Monty RobertsTM in the UK, allowing him to have what he calls ‘the best seat in the house’!

Working initially as a concert photographer, Simon used his ability to judge the perfect moment where the musician and the music come together to create stunning images that transfer the musical moment into an image.  Transferring the skills of awareness and timing to his passion for working with animals, he produces exceptional photography work which is sought after worldwide.

From personal to corporate, Simon has the experience to provide the services that you or your business need. His innovative approach allows him to treat each and every client as an individual, with competitive rates offering solutions to suit every budget. His relaxed yet professional attitude and his promise of total client confidentiality gives you complete confidence in his ability to produce what you are looking for.

In 2009 Simon the pressure of the photography, filming and media services work on top of working at Microsoft became too much, and Simon decided to concentrate full time on Into The Lens. With more years experience than he cares to think about, he is enjoying the challenges and rewards of growing his own business.

People often ask what Simon’s goals are for Into The Lens. Simple – to continue to provide bespoke photography, filming and media services in a professional manner with a friendly smile… and most importantly to continue to enjoy every minute of it! What more could you ask than to earn your living doing a job you love?!
"Twenty-five years in the I.T. business has helped me get to a point in the way I communicate that means when I run a photography clinic, I don't sound like a text book! It's funny how the past leads us to a future we can be proud of. I'm more than proud, if a little nervous, of the world I'm now in. But the animals seem to like me!" - Simon 2010
