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 .

Cat flea

This flea was kindly donated by my cat, Alfie!

This is the highest magnification I have attempted, the flea was about nearly 2mm in length, so the section of flea in this photo is less than 1mm. I like how the surface is semi-transparent making some of the internal structures visible.

This is a stack of 105 shots.
