"I am a multiple award-winning wildlife photographer, based on the edge of the South Downs National Park in the UK. I have been privileged to photograph in some of the world’s most remarkable wilderness regions and seen some of the planet's finest species.

I have always had a passion for all things with fur, feathers and scales as well as faraway places. I am definitely a natural wanderer, I love to journey to unknown lands and discover the natural delights they have to offer. In all honesty I am not very good at staying in one place for very long.

With a background in the safari and wildlife travel industry I have been able to travel far and wide in search of an incredible array of species. I am probably best known for my work ‘Down Under’, photographing the unique and captivating wildlife of Australia. In fact most of my awarded work comes from my year spent in the Antipodes."
