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 .

Hoverflies
This Summer I have been trying to photograph and identify as many hoverflies as I can find in my local park in North London. The diversity is amazing, all together I have seen about 20 different hoverfly species, yet this is a tiny proportion of the 276 species which have been found in Britain.
