I’m a lecturer and a veterinary surgeon, based near York, North Yorkshire, an ideal base for working in the Yorkshire Wolds, Moors and Dales. Photography is a recent hobby, but I’ve always been passionate about wildlife and I spend much of my free time in the countryside watching wild animals and birds, so wildlife photography was a natural progression. I find that this love of nature inspires me to want to capture the moments that I’ve been fortunate enough to witness. I aim to show, as well as I can, the sense of wonder I experience when encountering wildlife, as well as the character and beauty of the animal.

Each photo I take tells a story of a moment that I’ve been privileged enough to experience and I love being able to share the beauty and excitement of these wildlife encounters with others.

After reaching the shortlist for several wildlife photography competitions, in 2011 I was delighted to win the British wildlife category of the Outdoor  Photographer of the year competition with my photo of a Mountain hare (above).
One of my photos featured in the Scottish Nature Photography awards 2012 Portfolio yearbook, and in 2017 my photo of a long-eared owl in woodland was shortlisted in the British Wildlife Photography Awards (below)

In 2015 I was awarded my LRPS (Licentiate Distinction from the Royal Photographic Society) and CPAGB (Credit award from the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain).

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you like the photos. Please contact me if you have any questions or requests
