• A fotó története

  This image was made as I stood on the deck of a small expedition ship that was navigating the west coast of Svalbard. We experienced the most amount of drift ice for over two decades, and the patterns that the ice formed were wonderful. I chose a slow shutter speed to capture the wing movement of the Fulmar as it flew past, and this also served to soften the icy environment behind the bird. The air temperature was around -20 Celsius, making it challenging to photograph in such conditions.

  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.
