I have been passionate about wildlife since a very early age and a serious birder since my early teens. I have travelled widely through Europe, Asia and Africa in search of some of the greatest wildlife experiences on the planet. My most recent highlight was being the only person other than the skipper on a pelagic out of Kaikōura, New Zealand.At one point we were surrounded by 5 species of albatross, along with Northern Giant Petrels, Cape Pigeons & Westland Petrels, with Fluttering, Hutton’s, Buller’s & Flesh-footed Shearwaters as a supporting cast. A magical experience.

I have previously co-led birding trips in Sweden, Netherlands & USA at some of the birding festivals such as the Space Coast, Rio Grande Valley and San Diego. I have previously led photographic tours to Kenya in search of Africa’s Big 5 mammals, Cheetah & African Wild Dog for a specialist wildlife tour company.

My images have been widely published in books, magazines and journals in UK and US and I am an established & popular speaker on the RSPB/Bird Club circuit in the UK.

Recently, I have combined my love of photography with my taste in music and enjoyed photographing live rock bands from the photo pit. Images taken at some of these rock concerts have recently been used on tour posters, publicity shots and an album cover.

For almost two decades I have worked in the UK sports optics industry as a Regional Account Manager for Opticron. Part of my job means I  have to work closely with some of the largest wildlife charities in the UK & Europe, which means I get to visit a lot of great natures reserves.

When not at work, I can usually be found behind the lens, either in the field or at a gig.
