Wildlife photography’s power rests on the belief that it represents an event that occurred naturally in the wild, something witnessed and recorded by the photographer with their camera at that given time.


Fieldcraft and ethics are two of the most important things in wildlife photography. Those that enter the theatre of wildlife are afforded the highest level of trust by nature. How we manage that first contact as I call it is so important


Here is a short film of an adult Dipper feeding in the Peak District National Park, watch how they just dive into the river looking for food, it’s incredible.
Climate change is having a devastating impact on wildlife here in Britain and all around the world. Those species of wildlife that turn white in winter to blend in now look out of place as the milder temperatures bring less snowfall.


For all bookings on any Craig Jones Wildlife Photography tour or workshop clients will have the option to move their deposit; payment to any other tour or workshop.


A chance encounter with nature is always amazing, seeing another living being right there with you is beyond words. Whether you take photos or your just out for a walk that moment when you come across another life is priceless.

Promising news that I wanted to share from COP26 as over 100 nations have promised to end and reverse deforestation by 2030, in the summit’s first major deal.
