Welcome!
Wildlife photographer, writer, workshop and safari leader based in Northumberland in the United Kingdom…
My wildlife photography is driven by my appreciation and fascination of the natural world from my favourite local patch, The Farne Islands, to the birds and mammals of sub-Saharan Africa.
I’m very proud to a brand ambassador representing FUJIFILM UK and Formatt-Hitech.

Farne Islands 2021
After we missed out on the puffins, terns and other seabirds during 2020, I am keen to get back on to the Farne Islands this year.
Unfortunately, there is still a lot of uncertainty around access and visiting the Farne Islands. As soon as I have any information which I am able to share and permits taking some bookings, I’ll announce the dates right here.
For more information on Farne Islands Wildlife Photography Workshops, click here or contact me. Please note, the itinerary is likely be subject to change for 2021.
The Print Room
‘The Print Room’, an evolving collection of limited and open edition wildlife photographic prints available to order online.
Each print is produced to order by one of the UK’s top professional photo labs using the highest quality photographic paper for beautiful and long lasting results. Frames and mounts are hand-crafted and assembled after I’ve added titles, edition numbers and my signature. A certificte of authenticity is enclosed with each print, together with a background story about the photograph.
I picked up the ‘Kisaru’ print from the Post Office yesterday and it was even better than I had expected!
I also received the certificate, thank you so much for the trouble you have taken. I am so pleased that I persevered to find you after seeing the photograph in the Times newspaper.
I picked up my print after it was delivered to my neighbours, I absolutely love it!! It draws you in and the light is just fabulous.
Thank you so much for arranging the delivery.
