“In 2011 I visited Kenya and Rwanda and then travelled on to South Africa to work as a volunteer photographing wildlife to support a project helping children to understand more about the wildlife on their doorstep. On my return I submitted a successful panel of fifteen images for an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS) (Professional & Applied).
Following two trips to the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica I worked on the portfolio below with the intention of showcasing the character and diversity of the wildlife and the scale and nature of the landscape in these extreme environments. I intend to donate these images to the Scott Polar Institute in Cambridge for charitable purposes.”
Magellanic Penguins, Gypsy Cove, Falkland Islands
Black Browed Albatross Colony, West Point, Falkland Islands
Magellanic Penguins, Saunders Island, Falkland Islands
King Penguins at Right Whale Bay, South Georgia
King Penguin Colony at Rosita Harbour, South Georgia
Adelie Penguin, Shingle Cove, South Orkney Islands
Elephant Seal Pups, Shingle Cove, South Orkney Islands
Gentoo Penguin, Pleneau Bay, Antarctica
Porpoising Gentoo, Cuverville Island, Antarctic Peninsula
Chinstrap Penguins, Half Moon Island, South Shetlands, Antarctica
Orne Point, Antarctica
Comparing these wildlife images with my current work I think you will see a major change both in the subject, approach and production of my work. A couple below to remind you:
The Little House in the Cuillin
Reed Beds at Cille Chroisd
Clouds over the Cuillin
I do miss the thrill of taking wildlife . . .
