My Projects
In the summer of 2025, I travelled to Hornstrandir, a remote peninsula in northwest Iceland where mountains vanish into mist, waterfalls carve through wild valleys, and the weather dances between sunshine and storm. This rugged edge of the world is home to the Arctic fox, Iceland’s only native land mammal, perfectly attuned to endure unimaginable cold. We camped in a quiet bay, our tent tucked beneath the mountain, sheltered from the restless wind. For a week I followed a family of foxes—two adults and four cubs—watching them forage along black sands, scamper across seaweed, and rest in the long northern light.
To spend a week in their company was to witness the wild at its most intimate and enchanting.
Foxes
My latest project took an exciting turn when I was incredibly lucky to discover a fox den, which I quietly monitored throughout the spring. With the help of careful camouflage, I was able to witness some truly intimate moments—capturing behaviours like suckling, play-fighting, and deep, peaceful sleep.
Since then, the family hasn’t returned to the same spot. While I’d love the chance to observe and photograph fox cubs again, I’ll always treasure the memories of that unforgettable spring and summer spent so close to their hidden world.
Brown Hares
Hares have always held a special place in my heart. For a long time, I could only photograph them when traveling to other parts of the UK, but last summer I discovered a spot closer to home—though it still takes some effort to reach.
Since then, it’s felt like stepping into another world each time I visit. To quietly share space with these wild, watchful creatures has been nothing short of magical—and capturing those moments through the lens feels like a gift each time.
Barn Owls
One of the first subjects that truly opened my eyes to the wonders of the UK was the Barn Owl.
My first encounter came on a warm summer evening, as I sat on the edge of a meadow by the river. It was a magical moment, and to this day, I can still recall the sense of awe when it silently soared towards me.
Barn Owls are a resilient species, emerging only at dawn and dusk. Working with them is a project full of more failures than successes, but that only makes the rare, perfect moments all the more rewarding. When everything aligns, these are the results of those unforgettable days.
Sea Birds
This project focuses on capturing the incredible sea birds that thrive in some of the harshest conditions on Earth. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit the magical islands of Skomer and Skokholm, home to the charming Puffin, alongside a diverse array of other remarkable seabirds. While the majority of the photos in this collection are from these islands, as I continue to explore more coastal locations around the world, I look forward to adding even more to this gallery.
I have had some of my favourite memories on these trips; sitting on the cliffs on the final evening as the sun dipped below the horizon, I spent a quiet, contemplative evening watching the last of the season’s puffins. Their migration was nearly over, and most had already taken flight, vanishing one by one into the fading light.
Great Crested Grebe
Early in 2021, I began focusing on Great Crested Grebes—one of my first major projects. My aim was to capture their unique behaviours and intimate moments, especially during their incredibly beautiful spring rituals.
I feel I’ve achieved that goal, and I’m genuinely proud of the results. But the project is far from over—I plan to return next year to continue following the lives of these remarkable birds.
This project has pushed my photography further than ever before, teaching me how to adapt to tough, shifting conditions and deepening my understanding of exposure compensation. It’s been a challenge, but also a hugely rewarding experience.
My Local Lake
As my Great Crested Grebe project has developed, I’ve begun shifting my focus to the lake as a whole and all the wildlife it supports, rather than concentrating on a single species. This broader perspective has allowed me to capture a wider range of photographs and moments. I’ve really enjoyed this more flexible approach, as it lets me respond to whatever unfolds in front of me—adapting to the light, movement, and unexpected encounters that make each visit unique.
Little Owls
This project began when a friend told me about a family of Little Owls living on her farm. These charismatic birds quickly captured my interest, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed photographing the pair and the young they’ve raised each year.
Lately, it’s become more challenging, as the owls have grown increasingly cautious of my presence. Still, I remain hopeful for more opportunities in the years to come—and I look forward to continuing this quiet observation of their lives.
Badgers
Badgers have always been high on my list of wildlife to photograph. I had a brief opportunity in 2019, but it wasn’t until 2022 that I experienced my first real success. I discovered a sett not far from home and spent nearly every evening I could there.
Each night, I would lie in wait for hours before sunset, quietly hoping for a glimpse of these elusive creatures. Those evenings felt truly magical—bats flitted overhead, deer wandered through the fields, and I listened closely for the tell-tale rustle of badgers emerging from the sett. I hope to return one summer soon and pick up where I left off.
Wading Birds
Wading birds are another obsession of mine, though they’re not a species I often find close to home, so opportunities to photograph them are limited. A few trips to Cornwall, Chichester, and Norway have been particularly rewarding.
Photographing them is no easy task—you often have to crawl slowly across the sand, inching closer without disturbing them. Then it becomes a waiting game, hoping they’ll wander your way. But when it works, it’s truly special. If you’re lucky, you find yourself surrounded by these remarkable birds, completely at ease with your presence. It’s a quiet kind of magic.

High in the stunning but unforgiving Scottish Cairngorms, I’ve had the incredible privilege of photographing Mountain Hares. These hardy animals endure some of the harshest conditions—heavy snow, biting winds, and driving rain. Yet, when everything aligns, and the weather softens just enough, it becomes an experience like no other. There’s something truly special about sharing a moment with these resilient creatures in such a wild and beautiful place.
