Wishing all of you who may have travelled and photographed with me, either past, present, or future, who follow my blog, podcast, and photography, or even just stumbled across my work somewhere, a happy and safe Christmas and festive season. It has been a frantic year, the pace of which has frequently left me somewhat breathless. I wish you good health and happiness, and all the best for the festive season and New Year. Roll on to 2026, and may it be one of good health, great light, and incredible experiences!

I have just published episode 137 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I review Travel and Documentary photographer Richard L’Anson’s new magnum opus – ‘Way Down South‘. A massive tome of a book containing the sum of Richard’s work from Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, South Shetlands and South Georgia. This was an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable book for me to review, as it’s a subject and region near and dear to my heart and my passion for the world’s Polar regions.

Yesterday, I also released my new short film – Guardians of the Forest. Filmed over ten days in the Boreal Forest of Finland in Autumn, this film is about my journey photographing wolves and bears and my thoughts as a wildlife photographer. I hope you enjoy this passion project.

Yesterday, I released my new short film, Guardians of the Forest. A joint collaborative effort with mt friend Chris Nemes from White Space Films. The feedback and comments received to date have been overwhelmingly amazing. Thank you to all of you who took the time to watch and share your impressions and comments; it is hugely appreciated. A small sample below. This was very much a passion project and something near and dear to my heart. If you have not seen it yet, the film is included below the comments.

Today, I am incredibly excited to release my new short film – Guardians of the Forest. Filmed over ten days in the Boreal Forest of Finland in Autumn, this film is about my journey photographing wolves and bears and my thoughts as a wildlife photographer. I hope you enjoy.
