August 2009
Halsgrove have commissioned me to shoot a documentary-style book showcasing the Isle of Wight’s World famous Cowes Week sailing regatta. Taking place during the first week of August, the book will document the event from the visitors perspective with plenty of sailing action, on-shore and off-shore drama and some inspirational landscape and seascape photography.

Book: New Cumbria photo-book to be published June 23rd, 2009.
Dave Willis will be publishing his new book, entitled simply “Cumbria” in the summer of 2009. The coffee-table format photo-book explores the county of Cumbria from corner to corner and is intended as a county book, in place of the more usual Lake District photo-books on offer from most photographers venturing into Cumbria. Although the Lake District forms a central chapter of the book, other regions such as the Eden Valley, the Borders and West Cumbria are well covered and few photographers are better placed to do it - Dave Willis has been photographing all aspects of the county for Cumbria Tourism for many years now and has left very few stones unturned in his quest to seek out the very best the county has to offer. “Cumbria” will published by Halsgrove probably on June 23rd - with book signings to follow.
