Welcome to my site!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m an London-based photographer, originally from Gloucestershire. \u00a0Travel photography started as a hobby and now I work as a semi-professional photographer. \u00a0My travels have taken me to more than 60 countries and has helped me create a vast collection of images of people and places from around the world. \u00a0My goal in life is to cover as much of the globe as possible and explore what it has to offer. I most enjoy travelling to those places that are “off the beaten track”. This is reflected in my recent trips, which have taken me to Basra, Baghdad and Erbil.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not traveling, I enjoy exploring London with my camera. \u00a0But I do travel internationally for work, so you\u2019re never too far away for me.<\/p>\n

If you would like information on image licensing, pricing, etc., please\u00a0contact<\/a>\u00a0me. \u00a0I would love to hear from you!<\/p>\n

Why “Schweboo”? Three reasons spring to mind. Firstly, the name came from ‘Schwebo’, a town in Burma that my father passed through during WWII. Our first cat was Burmese, so we called her Schwebo. Not long afterwards, I tried to set up a Yahoo email account and did not like any of the “chris.frost1234′ options that were available, so I used “Schweboo” instead. When I discovered the “Schweboo” was a word unknown to Google, I also used Schweboo as the domain name for this site.<\/p>\n
