I am a wildlife photographer and natural history TV Assistant Producer based in Bristol.

Since I was 10 I’ve been obsessed with wildlife. This started when I went out birding with my dad, but I soon wanted to start recording what I was seeing. My first forays into photography were via digiscoping, using a compact camera attached attached to a telescope. Despite most of my photos then resembling distant smudges more than anything else, I was totally hooked, and wanted more. After saving up for what seemed like an age, I took the plunge and I bought my first DSLR set-up, a Nikon D60 and Sigma 50-500mm lens.

The obsession that started over 15 years ago is still there today, and since those early efforts my photography has taken me to a huge range of locations, from urban jungles photographing wildlife such as waxwings at the side of London's A1 to primates and parrots in the jungles of Peru, bears in Alaska, and geladas and Ethiopian wolves in the high mountain peaks of Ethiopia, with much more in between.

My images are represented by Nature Picture Library and have been awarded in several competitions, such as Wildlife Photographer of the Year, GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Asferico Photocontest and the British Wildlife Photography Awards (BWPA). I have also contributed images and features to several publications including National Geographic Magazine, BBC Wildlife, The Times, Amateur Photographer and N-Photo.

I am currently working in natural history TV production at Wildstar Films.
