I'm happy whether I'm photographing Blue Tits in the garden or I'm chest deep in waders in a Slovenian lake. I Love Wildlife Photography! I've been published in numerous photo magazines, made years of YouTube Videos and helped hundreds of people improve their wildlife photography skills on my small group and 1:1 workshops. I've also provided courses for major organisations in the UK including RSPB, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Woodland Trust. I love to travel, both for my own projects and on my Photo Tours I run in Europe. 📩 JOIN MY NEWSLETTER https://tinyurl.com/35r8ztdw ABOUT MY CHANNEL I make 'In the Field' Wildlife Photography Vlogs and Wildlife Photography Tutorials.
