Text Box: STONEFREE is the brainchild of British photographer/artist/designer Royston E. Naylor (better known as Stone). Born on 9th December 1960, in Cleethorpes, N.E. Lincolnshire, he lived in the neighbouring town of Grimsby until 2002 when he moved to Devon for the birth of his son, Finlay. Stone is now based in Crediton, about eight miles from Exeter, and works throughout the UK and Europe, although his travel photography often takes him to more remote locations. As a self-taught photographer, Stone’s versatility, style and vision have earned him several prestigious awards, including: 2003 Commonwealth Photographic Award for his ongoing photo-documentary of Glastonbury Festival since 1990 (and about which his first book was published in 2002) and a 2004 Fujifilm Professional Distinctions Award for his evocative and atmospheric portraiture of classical guitarist David Cottam. Stone undertakes a widely varied range of commissions and projects, approaching them all with a unique insight and perspective cultivated by a wealth of diverse experience. His Saggittarian optimism, charm and natural empathy enable him to connect with people of all ages, backgrounds and creeds, whilst his knowledge, understanding and enthusiasm for his art allow him to work spontaneously, intuitively and passionately.
