Monty, who has been commissioned to take photos of Horsham Gymnastics Centre in the Pavilions, said: “I would give anything to be a photographer, it’s something I’ve looked forward to and really wanted to be sever since I was little.

“The exhibition is very important because making your name in photography is what’s going to make you successful.”

Monty said: “I love the freedom of it and the feel that you get.

“I know a lot of people think photography is just clicking a button but it’s not - there’s so much more to it and I love showing it and I think my passion for wildlife comes across in it.”

Monty has included photos of gymnasts in his exhibition to show progression in his craft.
