A Wild Connection
To achieve these images requires innovative approaches to my equipment, I need to frequently build my own equipment to make shots like these possible. I also need to acquire new fieldcraft to engage with wildlife at close quarters.
I have seen wildlife come under increasing pressure and engaging viewers with their plight is my ultimate goal. No animals are ever harmed or disturbed in the creation of my work

entry description
This collection has a goal to build a stronger connection with wildlife, the aspiration is to assemble a series of unique images. By taking all these images from within just a few feet of the subject they all use wide-angle lenses and provide a unique perspective on wildlife, very different from the long lens documentary images we are so used to seeingTo achieve these images requires innovative approaches to my equipment, I need to frequently build my own equipment to make shots like these possible. I also need to acquire new fieldcraft to engage with wildlife at close quarters.
