• A fotó története

  Visiting the arctic island of Hornoya is always a great adventure, especially at the very begining of the breeding season, when the birds have just returned, and snow still lies on the ground. I was watching and photographing a courting couple as they interacted, and was really pleased when they engaged in some "beaking" behaviour. As one of the birds seemingly submitted, and turned upside down below the other, I was able to make this striking, high key image on freshly fallen snow.

  I live in the UK, but I am an avid explorer and get out in my campervan along roads less travelled, aiming to photograph the wildlife I encounter amidst some of Nature's most environmentally significant and diverse places. From photographing Puffins on a remote, snowy island hundreds of miles above the arctic circle, to photographing Dalmatian Pelicans in one of Europe's premier wetlands, I aim to capture unique and captivating images that inform and inspire.
