Here are links to two very different photographers. The first, Gavin Gough is a travel stock photographer. His passion is India and as his blog will demonstrate to you is very natural in front of complete strangers.
The second, Barry Mann runs a successful business that shots images from 70ft above the ground. High level photography used for estate agencies and sporting events.

Two different photographers for two different markets.
Also, here is the link to one of the best photographic societies in the country, Winchester Photographic Society. This society holds its annual open exhibition in the March / April time of the year and is well worth a visit to the Discovery Centre, Jewry Street, Winchester, UK.
