About

I grew up on a small farm in North Yorkshire, surrounded by animals and open countryside. That’s really where my love of the natural world began. My late granddad’s old stack of National Geographic magazines showed me how big and fascinating the world could be — and probably planted the seed for everything I do now.

I picked up photography while studying fine art and quickly realised it was how I made sense of the world. Since then, my camera has taken me from quiet fields at home to remote places abroad, always chasing light, wildlife, and small moments that make you pause.

Animals have always been at the centre of what I do, shaping both my creative work and my interest in animal ethics & history. This website is a collection of those experiences — a mix of travel, wildlife and botanical photography that reflects my time outdoors and the stories I’ve found along the way.

FAQ

  • Do you sell prints of your photographs?

    Yes. A curated selection of my work is available to purchase directly through this website as high-quality prints. They are produced through a professional print-on-demand service and shipped internationally. If you are interested in a photograph that is not currently listed, please contact me and I can make it available as a print.

  • Can your photographs be licensed?

    Yes. Licensing is available for editorial, conservation, and cultural projects. Usage rights and fees depend on scope and publication. Please contact me directly with details of your project.

  • Do you take on assignments?

    I am a freelance photographer and open to assignments in wildlife, conservation, and travel. I am particularly interested in work that documents the natural world and its relationship to people, culture, and history.

  • What equipment do you use?

    Much of my work was created with the Sony A7R III. I now work with the Sony A1, using a 35mm prime, a 100–400mm telephoto for wildlife, and a Sony G Master macro lens. This equipment allows me to produce high-resolution images suitable for large-format print and publication.

  • How do you approach wildlife photography?

    I follow ethical practices, never baiting or staging animals. My work is based on patience, observation, and respect — aiming to capture behaviour and moments as they naturally unfold.

  • How can I work with you?

    Please get in touch through the contact page to discuss prints, licensing, or assignments. I welcome collaborations with editors, conservation groups, and cultural organisations.
