The First Balance
Price range: £250.00 through £1,150.002025
In a world of towering legs and fading pink plumage, the little one stands—downy, uncertain, yet unyielding. A single leg cradles the weight of its fragile body, a first rehearsal of the grace it has yet to master. Around it, echoes of elegance whisper from older wings, reminding it of the fire it will one day wear.
Still, the chick trembles with possibility, clothed in soft gray, carrying within it a secret flame waiting to break through. Each wobble, each breath, is the sound of becoming.
There is beauty not only in the finished form, but in the unsteady beginnings—the courage to rise, to balance, to belong among giants. In this moment of quiet defiance, the chick claims its place beneath the sky, a promise wrapped in fluff: one day, it too will stand tall in shades of fire.

Ripples Of Elegance
Price range: £250.00 through £1,150.002025
I have spoken often about my diagnosis of autism, and how living in such a noisy world is a profound challenge at times – my photography has become somewhat of an escape from that challenge, and my black-and-white style serves as a peaceful escape from the noise that surrounds me.
I love the contrast between elegant whites and strong, deep blacks, and the swan is a perfect species for this style, the elegance of their white feathers is unrivalled, they are one Britain’s most beautiful creatures. I really wanted to play on that contrast when photographing them in early 2025.
I quickly noticed this thicket of trees on the opposite side of the lake – I knew this would provide a beautiful, deep black background if I got down to water-level and bided my time. The resulting photograph is better than I could have ever imagined, it’s a very satisfying photograph for me, and a new favourite.

Amongst The Morning Mist
Price range: £250.00 through £1,150.002025
It has been about six years since I released a photograph of a swan – they are breathtakingly beautiful birds, but they can also be aggressive, and they are probably one of the most photographed birds. I admit that they are one of my favourite native species, and I always get excited when I spot one… it was about time I revisited them with my camera.
We were treated to some very favourable conditions earlier this year, the winter light was magical, and recent temperatures had meant it was likely there would be some level of mist if we got down to the waters edge early enough.
The photograph was in the bag before breakfast, it was a very early and chilly start, but we warmed up with some good company and some good coffee shortly after. Sometimes you have to seize moment.

Silent Serenity
Price range: £250.00 through £1,150.002024
The horse project taught me many things, about myself, about horses, and about photography. One of the key takeaways for me was that there are always new ways to see animals, and new photographs to make, and this has led to reinvigorated passion for my flamingo series.
I first photographed these birds about seven years ago, for what was originally a one-year project. Here I am, about to enter 2025, still adding to the series, and with no plans to stop anytime soon.
I love this frame – it has a such a peaceful feeling to it. They can be feisty subjects, but there is a silent serenity when they settle down, on one leg, for a well-earned sleep.

My Crown
Price range: £250.00 through £1,150.002024
Every time I see an African crowned crane I am immediately transported back to my childhood — growing up with autism meant I was drawn to anything that was unusual — weather that be the bright pink of the flamingo, or the feathered crown of these birds. Every time I saw them I would announce “It’s the funny haircut birds”.
I have long desired to capture a strong portrait of these most unusual birds, as an ode to the excitement they gave me as a child.
The light hit perfectly on this day, illuminating that fascinating crown, they do indeed have a funny haircut!

There Is Always Light
Price range: £250.00 through £1,150.002024
The flamingo has played such a monumental part in my artistic journey – I began photographing the bird shortly after discovering the camera, I was obsessed with their crimson feathers and sitting on the edge of their lake was a great escape from pressures I was facing at school. Photographing them became my therapy, and I began ‘The Flamingo Project’ with the intention of photographing them closely for a year.
Several years later, I am still adding to the collection, and enjoy the challenge of finding unique perspectives of this increasingly popular bird.
This photograph, one of my new favourites, was taken in early 2024 when I had hit a bump in the road – everything around me was changing, which is one of the scariest prospects for anyone living with autism, and so I returned to the lake, and my flamingos, in search of some solace, and they didn’t disappoint.
There is always light, you just have to know where to look for it!

Double Vision
Price range: £250.00 through £1,150.002024
My love of patterns, order, and repetition heavily my day-to-day life, everywhere I go, I notice these things, and they naturally influence my work with the camera and with my subjects.
Every animal is beautifully unique, but I love finding ways to show of that individual beauty, but also play on my love for visual patterns, order, or repetition, it is challenge I embrace fully whenever I am sketching out image ideas or working in the field, and when I get manage to achieve it I go home a very happy man!
I love flamingos, they have been a key subject of mine for many years, and I am delighted with this frame. It satisfies my autistic quirks!

A Bond So Strong
Price range: £250.00 through £1,150.002024
This is perhaps one of my favourite flamingo photographs from the last seven years of my career. Flamingos often form breeding pairs that last a lifetime, and are also known to form close friendships that have been known to last for fifty years – I wanted a single frame that spoke of those most special bonds.
I am grateful to have had the privilege to spend considerable time with this flock – it was a very humbling experience.

Flamboyance
Price range: £250.00 through £1,150.002024
Whenever I photograph flamingos, I always find myself smiling at their sudden outbursts of energy. When one calls, they all call, and it results in this beautiful scene full of displaying flamingos holding their heads proud.
I knew a photograph of this mesmerising display was missing from my collection, and so when I had the opportunity to work with the incredibly vivid Caribbean species recently I knew I had my chance to capture a flamboyance of flamingo in full voice.
