Hi there, and thanks very much for dropping into my website you are most very welcome.
I am a full time Wildlife Photographer and Guide, based in Australia. Since an early age I have had a passion for the outdoors and especially Wildlife, and by trying to photographically record what I saw in the wild, it eventually turned into my profession. I am an accomplished mountaineer and spend a lot of my time in the Mountains but whatever I do and wherever I go the camera always comes with me. I now travel far and wide to photograph Wildlife, to many of my favourite places both in the UK and overseas, I adore Snowdonia from the rugged mountains down to the beautiful coastline and I have a real passion for Scotland, in particular The Cairngorms and the Western Isles, especially Mull.
Although I enjoy photographing all wildlife subjects my passion is birds, especially raptors, Ospreys being my absolute favourite bird. and I spend a huge amount of time in the Spring and Summer photographing them.
When not out with the camera taking my own images, I
deliver Workshops throughout many locations in the UK and abroad,
and also Presentations to Camera clubs, Nature Societies, and many
other Groups, working with many other individuals such as my friends
Iolo Williams and Mike Dilger, and organizations such as Welsh
Water, Cambrian Photography, Paramo Clothing, Hawke Optics and Muck
Boots.
Much of my wildlife photography is out in the Wild, but as a
Professional Guide and Workshop host I will use Commercial hides for my
Clients and some of my own Photography. I am very selective as to which
hide owners I work with, a lot of time is taken in checking out the hide
operation, and the care and attention paid to the Wildlife visiting the
hides. All the people I associate with are very much conservation
minded, and whilst it gives Clients great opportunities to get awesome
images, the set ups that I use are undoubtedly helping in conserving the
wildlife that man is persecuting in so many other ways.
For all my Photography I have always used Nikon cameras and lenses, there is nothing better, the Z9 being my main body and also a D6 and D850, and is mainly coupled up with 500mm f/4 and 300mm f/2.8 prime lenses, and 200-400 f/4 zoom. I have always used Nikon and have consistently been blown away by the quality, consistency and fantastic optical performance. I work in partnership with Cambrian Photography in Colwyn Bay, North Wales. They are in my opinion the best independent Camera Retailer on the High St, with exceptional customer care and service. When I am out and about the kit is packed away in the Shimoda Action XC70 Backpack.
