The purpose behind my blog is bring an insight into what I get up to each and every day, whether that be on photographic assignments or just being out and about at my home on Leadwood Game Reserve in Hoedspruit, South Africa with friends and clients, or with my family in North Yorkshire in the UK. It’s a personal way for me to effectively keep an electronic diary as well as share with my friends and family the world over what I’m getting up to (well most of it!!).

My photographic work is well documented on Facebook and in the printed media, but I thought it would be fun to bring together a very personal blog that can recount my adventures on shoots in the most beautiful of natural places, and the stories of the people I meet along the way.
Many people imagine the world of a wildlife photographer to be glamorous and generally a fun way in which to get out and about with a camera and earn a living. The reality is very different. There are big pressures to the job, it’s unconventional in may respects, and it carries with it long periods away from family and friends and plenty of unsociable hours. But it brings with it a freedom, a vehicle with which to express your deepest creativity and an acknowledgement that unlike many people you are lucky enough to be living your dream.
Yes there will be many photographic related discussions, you’d expect nothing less. There will be debates on the challenges of in particular rhino conservation which is a big part of my life. But most of all there will be an insight I hope into the day to day routine of living my life in the bush and all that goes with that, photographic or otherwise. I hope you will enjoy following my adventures ….
