What's with the long face! Horse portraiture (of the horses themselves and with their owners) is something I've been thinking about doing for quite some time. I've admired the work of photographers such as Tim Flach and Matthew Seed and wanted to get away from the standard look of event photography in [...]
I got a call from Byker yesterday that there were waxwings eating the berries on the heavily laden trees there. Lo and behold, there they were: about 60 waxwings, as well as several red-wings munching away on the red berries. Waxwings are beautiful birds and come here in winter most years from [...]
I've just started a beautiful relationship with Landscape & Wildlife Photography Magazine writing regular articles in the new wildlife photography section. The first article, published on 1 Dec 2012, was titled 'Psycho Sunrise' - an exploration of the psychology of the golden hour. There's a lot more to it than [...]
And now for something completely different! A portrait of my good friend, Martin yesterday. I don't often do portraits, but love the challenge of studio lighting every now and then.

Cheetahs are stunningly beautiful creatures. These sleek speed machines have evolved to hunt in the daytime while their larger and more powerful relatives (lions and leopards) are snoozing and overheating. However, like all big cats, they still like a good kip given half a chance. Here are some of my chilled cheetahs: [...]
A quick male cheetah to go with last night's raspberry-blowing female. This male cheetah, one of a coalition of 3 brothers, was interested in the gazelles close by. The reason for the Kenya trip was a recce for our 2013 photo / video safari, which is a collaboration [...]
The first sight of lions we got was this pride in the main Masai Mara National Park. Because it was midday, they were doing bugger all. Big cats in Africa (except cheetahs) conserve energy by doing the bare minimum most of the day, only coming alive in the evening, night [...]
