Bill Bevan Photography

I am a photographer, writer and archaeologist.

I specialise in visualising and writing about archaeological and historical sites from around the world. My aim is to evoke the sense of place and people's engagement with a site as well as its historical importance.

I am also interested in photographing many other travel subjects including casual portraits, events, small details and working communities (both the people themselves and the traces of labour that create dynamics with what is absent from the frame).

Many of the photographs showcased here are stock images available as royalty-free images for publications and as prints for sale online.

I also undertake commissions and assignments. Please contact me for further details.
