Welcome to my blog

I am an exclusive photographer with istockphoto and produce a wide variety of images. Recently I have been experimenting with high magnification photography of insects, plants and anything else I find that looks interesting up close.

I am a first year undergraduate studying Biology at the University of Oxford. I have a particular interset in entomology and enjoy exploring the huge diversity of insect species in the UK.

I aim to use this blog to share some of the photos I have been taking which I find particularly interesting, I try to do a little bit of research on the subjects of my photos but am far from an expert. if I have made any big errors or misidentified something, please leave a comment or send me an email to correct me .

Red deer in Richmond Park

Last year in August I went to Richmond Park to photograph the red deer, it was really great how close you could get and I decided that I would come back to see the deer during the rut.

The deer rut starts in late October and lasts for a few weeks, I went to Richmond Park in early November and saw a few clashes of antlers.

Just as I was leaving the park I saw a heron bathed in beautiful golden light
