A collection of wildlife photography guides based on real experiences in the field.

Wildlife photography is an incredible way to connect with nature, but it can also feel daunting when you are just starting out. Over the years I have been fortunate to learn from both professional and amateur photographers who generously shared their knowledge of locations, techniques, and equipment. Their advice saved me time, helped me improve faster, and gave me the confidence to try new approaches.

This section of the website is my way of passing that knowledge on. The guides here reflect what it is actually like to photograph wildlife on location, from planning and preparation through to adapting when conditions, behaviour, or light do not unfold as expected.

Alongside what worked well, I also share challenges, mistakes, and lessons learned, with the aim of helping others prepare more effectively and approach wildlife photography with realistic expectations. The content sits somewhere between story and practical guidance, shaped by time spent observing, waiting, and learning in the field.

If you have questions, observations, or experiences of your own, I encourage you to share them in the comments so others can learn too. You are also very welcome to get in touch with me directly if you would like to ask a question or discuss a particular location or situation in more detail.
