About my nature, wildlife and occasionally documentary photography
The thing I love the most about wildlife and nature photography is sharing what I've seen with others - both back at home and on social media.
​
A friend and I have recently bought a boat, Star, and I am working on a new portfolio of marine wildlife photography.
​
I enjoy a good bimble around the garden, coffee in one hand, camera in the other, or strolling along country lanes or sitting in fields - seeing more from sitting still.
I also do a lot of photography from my front porch and I use it as a kind of sheltered hide. There is a beautiful fir tree right in front and a variety of birds come in from the fields, landing on the branches en route to and from my very well stocked feeders. The soft seaside light outside is just beautiful, even in the drizzle and cold..
​
I find the prospect of photographing people difficult, but always open to trying new things I went to the Hospice in Exeter to take a few photos that they needed. It began with great reluctance and fear that I would mess up, but by the end of that morning I found that I could take photographs with the sensitivity the hospice required, and so began that an unexpected journey to documentary photography. See my published Hospiscare work here.
