Wild Life Photographer

Our MissioN

A wildlife photographer’s mission is typically focused on capturing the natural beauty and behavior of animals in their habitats while raising awareness about conservation issues. Their work often goes beyond just creating beautiful images; it plays a crucial role in educating the public, advocating for wildlife protection, and documenting the pressing challenges faced by species and ecosystems around the world. Here’s a deeper look at the mission and goals of wildlife photographers:
1. Conservation Advocacy:
Raising Awareness: Many wildlife photographers aim to highlight the importance of preserving natural habitats and protecting endangered species. Through their powerful imagery, they can evoke emotional responses and spark conversations about conservation issues.
Documenting Environmental Change: Photographers often capture how animals and ecosystems are impacted by climate change, deforestation, pollution, and poaching. Their images become a tool for advocacy, used in campaigns, documentaries, and public exhibitions to bring attention to these challenges.
2. Capturing Biodiversity:
Showcasing Diversity: Wildlife photographers document the vast array of species on Earth, from the most iconic animals like elephants and tigers to lesser-known creatures. Their images help audiences appreciate the beauty of biodiversity and the complexity of ecosystems.
Highlighting Lesser-Known Species: While many photographers focus on charismatic megafauna, others take on the mission of photographing small, often overlooked species, such as insects, amphibians, and plant life, which are critical to the functioning of ecosystems.
3. Educational Outreach:
Engaging Audiences: Wildlife photographers aim to educate the public about the natural world. Through books, exhibitions, social media, and online platforms, their work provides insight into the lives of animals, their behaviors, and their environments.
Collaborating with Conservation Organizations: Many wildlife photographers partner with NGOs, environmental groups, and researchers to promote education and conservation initiatives. Their images are used in educational materials, campaigns, and fundraising efforts.

Extraordinary Experiences

I prefer a fine art style, choosing to appeal to buyers of framed photography. Although I have a preference towards black and white, colour features strongly too.

Visit my black and white wildlife photography gallery and my colour wildlife photography gallery to see a selection of my latest images.

My other award successes have included winning image in the Mammals category of the GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the Year in 2016 with Mud Monster, and the People’s Choice winner in the 2018 edition of Wildlife Photographer of the Year with my image of two lions, Bond of Brothers. I have held exhibitions of my work in London galleries since 2013.
