Sit in the same position for an hour and you’ll see just how quickly light changes. The direction of light will dramatically affect the way shadows fall in a scene within nature or on a subject.

Working on your own projects is a great way of learning more about your chosen subject, while becoming a better wildlife photographer I firmly believe.

Using my camera I try and show not only the beauty of the natural world but also the suffering within that world. My hope is to give all those species a true and meaningful voice around the world with my photographs.

With the warming temperatures, lighter evenings and the morning dawns becoming earlier, Spring is upon us. It’s my favourite time of year as the countryside is bursting with life.
