About the Photographer - davidt

All photography featured on davidtphotography.com is the original work of David Tedman. No other photographer's work is displayed or exhibited on this website. All images remain the sole copyright of David Tedman. All rights reserved worldwide.

David Tedman is a renowned landscape and industrial landscape photographer whose career began working with leading London design and advertising agencies. A lifelong cyclist and passionate fan of the sport, David was once the youngest member of the Great Britain Olympic cycling training squad. Like countless young riders, he dreamed of conquering the great mountain passes of Europe and winning the Tour de France.

Today, those same legendary roads and mountains inspire his photography. Combining a deep understanding of cycling with a photographer's eye for light, landscape, and atmosphere, David creates distinctive fine art images that celebrate the beauty, drama, and heritage of Europe's most iconic cycling climbs.

The original intention for the creation of this collection of pictures was to put to rest the ghost of that cherished unfulfilled dream. In reality, it’s become so much more than that. Somewhere along the way, the regrets of the past have transformed the present and morphed the future into a bright and exciting reason to live. 

These mountains can do that for you.

The soundtrack to the first two photo shoots of the Great Cycling Climbs belongs almost exclusively to London Grammar. A mix of spirituality and a wonderful cinematic quality needed to traverse these crazy mountain roads.
