Meeting orca at the edges of the known world Orca live at the edges of human knowing. Intelligent, social and deeply place-aware, they move through arctic waters with a precision that feels both ancient and utterly alive. To encounter them is hard to summarise in words. For me, it arrived as a moment of recognition,…
When I saw this news pop up online, it stunned me. Reynisfjara, Iceland’s black sand beach I’ve returned to again and again over twelve years I’ve been travelling to Iceland. The black sand threshold where I’ve felt most alive, studying light from the air and stood humbled by colossal waves, has been transformed beyond recognition…
Northern bottlenose whales are among the least seen whales in the North Atlantic. Deep-diving, offshore and elusive by nature, they live far beyond the edges of most human experience. To encounter them at all is rare. To spend days alongside Northern bottlenose whales in Önundarfjörður, monitoring their behaviour unfold in a quiet fjord, feels like…
There are days on the water that recalibrate what we think is possible. Days that stretch our sense of scale and remind us how alive the ocean, even in the face of the pressures it faces. This was one of those days. In Ísafjarðardjúp, in the remote Westfjords of Iceland, Whale Wise took to the…
As someone who is utterly obsessed with gannets, there are a few things in my minds eye that I have been dreaming of experiencing. In 2024, I was lucky enough to have conditions align. To be able to snorkel with them off Noss Island in Shetland. This was utterly mind blowing. But there wasn’t time…
A single image can replace an ocean of words, leaving an indelible mark on our soul. For me, that moment came at Noss Island, when I photographed a northern gannet entangled in ghost fishing rope. I had witnessed entanglement before, but nothing prepared me for the powerlessness of that day. The swell was up, the…
Bempton Cliffs is a place where wonder and awe takes your breath away, where seabird stories unfold in motion, against the sculpted backdrop of chalk and sea. As a nature and wildlife photographer, this is where my pulse slows and my lens opens, because photography isn’t just what I do. It’s how I listen and…
Born of the sea, growing up in Ramsgate, the sound of seabirds was the soundtrack to my childhood. Their calls stitched themselves into my memory so deeply that even now, hearing gulls overhead feels like coming home. For me, seabirds were the first wild lives I truly knew. They were the creatures who tethered me…
There is a saying that there are no unique messages, only unique messengers. So when it comes to visual storytelling, drone photography and video can open up a completely different perspective on something. I firmly believe that stories tap into the deepest parts of our humanity. They help us unravel what we know and challenge…
Seabird photography demands both precision and adaptability. You’re working at the mercy of the elements and have to fully surrender and respond to wind, tide and light. Sometimes on the edge of cliffs, sometimes with the challenges of swell on a bouncy RIB. Always aware that the next moment could unfold in any direction. The…
