I have just published episode 119 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I review photographer Alex Pansier’s new book Nature as Art and discuss the release of my new short film – Arctic Survivors. Edit: Slight correction: this book’s purchase price is 89 Euro, not 60 Euro as referred to in the podcast. I also omitted a discussion surrounding the print quality (jetlag at my end). Rest assured, the print quality is outstanding for a matt paper with deep inky blacks and clean crisp highlights.

I am leaving for Svalbard in a few hours time so updates may be a little sporadic and thin over the coming few weeks.

Today I am extremely pleased to release my new short film on the photography of Arctic Foxes in northern Iceland in Winter. A joint collaboration with my friend Chris Alexander from White Space Films, we shot this project over a period of just seven days in February this year. I hope you enioy this glimpse into the world of Arctic Fox photography.

The last two places on our Wild Nature Photo Travel workshop to Grimsey Island this year, 2025, in the far north of Iceland for Puffins and Razor bills have now been spoken for and the workshop is sold out – thank you. We are looking forward to photographing these amazing birds under the midnight sun in one of the most remote and spectacular places in Iceland. It has been some years since I was last in Grimsey island, but I am really excited to return to for another go at the ‘warp-speed’ Puffins with Canon’s new R1 mirrorless cameras.

I have just published episode 118 of my Wild Nature Photography Podcast. In this episode, I discuss my recent competition results in the Asia / Pacific Photography awards as well as my upcoming expeditions to Svalbard on snow mobile and ship. I am going to try and squeeze in one more podcast from Sweden – a book review.

The 2025 Asia / Pacific international photography awards are now run, won and done. This year I entered at the very last moment (I was on the fence about entering this year) as entries closed the day I was returning from my Arctic fox workshops in Iceland and I was juggling final trip logistics. Of the five photographs I entered into the Nature category all were highly commended or better with three of the five going onto the top twenty finalist photographs in the category. Two of those three then went on to take out Gold and both second and third place respectively in the category. The third took a Silver award. Given my indecision on entering this year I am extremely pleased with the final result – especially as the 2nd place photograph I shot only a couple of days before entering the awards.
