Busselle eventually opened his own studio in Covent Garden in the early 1960s.[1] Although successful with portrait and advertising assignments, by the 1980s he began to focus almost exclusively on travel and leisure photography, earning him several award-nominated compilations including The Wine Lover's Guide to France, runner-up for Wine Magazine's Book of the Year award, Landscape in Spain, runner-up in the Spanish Ministry of Tourism sponsored Otiz Ochague photography competition, and French Vineyards, an André Simon Book of the Year nominee.[2]
Busselle was a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and a regular contributor to several magazines such as The Sunday Express, Connoisseur and Atlantic Monthly.[2] He also lectured[1] and ran photography workshops.[3]
Personal life
Busselle pursued international travel whenever possible.[4] He was married and had one child, a son.[1]
