For a long time I was regarded, and regarded myself, as a wildlife photographer often spending months on the road and refusing to capture even a single image of a person. However, as the years passed I came to realise that not only my vision of how I wanted to tell a story changed but also how I ‘saw’ that story and its interconnected elements. Today I regard myself as a photographer of Natural History.
To me photography is more than just capturing beautiful pictures, these days almost anyone can do that; it should be about telling a story. The goal is always to tell a story. Beautifully composed images can tell a story by themselves, without text. I aim to immerse myself in the environment whether I have five minutes or five weeks and to document what I see and not stage scenes.
