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.

We have just a few places remaining now on our Puffins and Razorbills workshop at Grimsey Island off the north coast of Iceland in June next year (2026). The workshop will run from June 3rd until June 8th, 2026 and includes all accommodation and food on Grimsey Island as well as Ferry tickets, private vehicle transfers in Iceland and, of course, all in-field tuition and instruction – plus, of course, amazing photographic experiences with Atlantic Puffins! Please get in touch if you would like to secure a place or would like additional information.

I have just published episode 136 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast (long overdue). In this episode, I spend some time looking into what is coming up in 2026. Historically, I have done a very long blog post or podcast that is both a retrospective on the current year (the year that was) and a look forward into the new year. This year, I have decided to break it up into two more bite-sized chunks and have two separate podcasts. This episode looks ahead to 2026, with some thoughts on travel, equipment, and photography in general.

In other news, I was also appointed an Adobe Community Expert for both Lightroom and Photoshop this week. Which means I will now be on the Adobe community forums to answer Lightroom questions whenever I can. Feel free to PM me there if you have anything specific you want to ask.
