Projects this Year
Winter Projects
Last winter I was away in Australia and New Zealand, so I missed the bulk of the cold weather, though also some good photographic opportunities too!! This winter I will be mainly home based in North Wales, where I will concentrate on coastal landscapes and continue to work on images of wildfowl and shorebirds. Next spring I hope to return to Alaska to photograph Emperor Geese and Eiders in the Aluetian Islands.
Workshops
I will be running workshops on various aspects of Natural History Photography with the emphasis on the field aspect of the process. The use of field craft and a thorough knowledge of the subject are essential combined with an intimate understanding of camera and lenses. I will also look at the art of building and using hides in various situations as this is an essential tool in the nature photographers armoury. The courses will vary between 1 and 3 days, so do watch this space for announcements on future events.
From the Gallery
This is the area I use to showcase my work. It will be updated regularly as I produce new images, so please take the time to look and see what's new.
