An update from the field on the final morning of our Mongolia workshop in the far east for the Pallas Cat. A windy and frigid morning to wrap up our workshop here in the far east of Mongolia in Winter. A wonderful experience with a small group of passionate Nature photographers. The perfect way to experience and photograph the Pallas Cat. A full trip report will be coming soon.

A second update from the field on our Winter Mongolia workshop and its Pallas cat at dawn!

For those of you who might be enjoying Summer somewhere: An Update from the field in frigid Mongolia on our Wild Nature Photo Travel workshop to find and photograph the Pallas Cat.

Our Wild Nature Photo Travel workshop to Zululand, South Africa, in May 2027 is now sold out – thank you. This is one of three workshops we are running in Africa in 2027. The second will be a small-group private aerial trip to Namibia (visiting multiple camps via private aircraft), and the third a small-group experience in Tanzania for the migration.

Over the last two weeks, I have continued to receive incredible feedback on my newly released short film, Guardians of the Forest. A joint collaborative passion project with mt friend Chris Nemes from White Space Films. Thank you to all of you who took the time to watch and share your impressions and comments; it is hugely appreciated. A small updated sample below. Both Guardians of the Forest and Ghosts of the Arctic will be screened at the giant Xposure photo festival in Sharjah next month (February 2026). If you are attending please come and say hello and share a coffee.
