I am based in Birmingham, UK and I have loved wildlife since I was a child and have fond recollections of my holidays to India. Here I first encountered animals amongst the farm life in my family's villages and back in the UK  school trips to Zoo's and nature reserves. As an adult, I have been entranced by wildlife photography for nearly a decade now. The raw experience that led me to walk this path, was my first tiger safari in 2008. Days of travelling through highly developed landscapes, leading to pristine wilderness and finally the jewel in the crown... a wild tiger, was an experience I still remember well and feel to this day.

Searching for wildlife both near and far, as well as in our best wildlife parks has enabled me to capture endangered species, and present them to you, the viewer in the best possible light (both literally and metaphorically) in a bid to inspire and preserve our natural heritage for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations.

My inspirations are from varied backgrounds, but all equally important. Jim Corbett - tiger hunter turned conservationist, Valmik Tharpar - political campaigner, and of course Sir David Attenborough.

I have had the pleasure of representing Nikon and Canon products at several retail outlets such as Jessops JLP and Currys PC World. The in depth product training provided by REL/Big Picture has further improved my understanding of the both systems and their applications in wildlife photography. 

 My work is currently a mixture of wildlife taken in the field, and the first half of my ten year journey learning from captive animals at zoological gardens and wildlife parks. As time passes, I have grown to capture wildlife in its natural environment, and this is a trend that will continue into the future.
