Seabird photography, conservation and ocean storytelling. Explore life at the wild edges through image, insight and advocacy.
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…
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…
Seabird photography adventures isn’t just about turning up with a camera, it’s about entering into relationship with time, tide and season. Every species has its rhythm. Puffins may only be ashore for a few short summer months, while gannets arrive in spring and stay late into autumn. Terns are fiercely present during nesting in summer,…
Seabird photography invites us into some of the most dramatic and dynamic environments on Earth. Clifftops that drop into the roar of the sea, islands reached only by small boats, skies alive with wings and sound. It’s an awe-filled experience, but also one that tests every element of preparation, patience and resilience. Seabird photography challenges…
World Ocean Day is a call to remember our belonging. A moment to honour the blue spaces that sustain all life on earth. It’s not a single day of awareness. It’s an invitation to act, create, connect and protect. In rhythm with the tides that shape us. This year, I mark World Ocean Day with…
Bringing ISLANDNESS to life has been a journey in motion, not just of image-making, but of deep remembering. Set on an island within an island nation defined by its wild edges, this exhibition at National Trust’s Scotney Castle is a state of being. As well as an invitation into the liminal space where earth, sea…
ISLANDNESS is a state of being. What does ISLANDNESS really mean? It is both physical and metaphorical, rooted in place and simultaneously drifting beyond it. At its heart lies a question – what can islands, and the edges they represent, teach us about ourselves and our relationship with the natural world? This photographic exploration and…
