I’ve been a professional wildlife photographer since 2008 and for all of that time I’ve been trying to take pictures that will invoke an emotional response with people. In my experience, there is nothing that does that quite as well as baby animals. It’s probably got [...]
Another fantastic day at the Farne Islands yesterday! Thank you to my lovely workshop clients: welcome back to old friends and welcome aboard to new ones! Here are a few images I took during the trip: Sunset gannet taking off from a feeding frenzy [...]
Tony Henderson, the Journal's Environment editor, wrote a piece last Saturday on the 2nd edition of my book, which came out at the beginning of this month. There's a PDF of the article here and you can buy the book here. Here's a copy of the [...]
I'm very excited to announce that I have finally finished the second edition to my book! This one is fully updated for 2015 and has 200 extra pages of images, species information and photography advice. It's been 4 years since I first published Wildlife of the Farne Islands and this [...]
Here's my second Highly Commended image from the Audubon Society of Greater Denver's Share The View competition! It's on today's competition front page. The first Highly Commended image was a red deer stag (see below). This young grey seal was lying contentedly on Longstone Island at Northumberland's Farne Islands in [...]
From the several thousands of images submitted to the BWPA 2013 competition, I managed to squeeze two into the final short-list of 300. I just missed out on an award, but hey, I was pretty chuffed to get this far! Subsequently, the seal image won a highly Commended award :) Here [...]

I've actually remembered to mention it this time! Just out on 1 June, this is my regular column in Landscape & Wildlife Photography Magazine. This month it's about guillemots and 'jumplings'. The humble guillemot, it turns out, is anything but humble. Quite remarkable, actually. Hope you enjoy it. K [...]
Yay, they played my interview on the Jonathan Miles show on BBC Radio Newcastle at the Farne Islands today: 1hr 40min and 56sec in, to be precise! http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00vdw5t/Jonathan_Miles_17_07_2012/
