About John
Experience matters when the moment lasts half a second.
John left a successful career in finance for dawn starts, long waits and animals that rarely follow instructions. More than 25 years later, he has photographed across six continents and built a practice grounded in patience, respect and a genuine fascination with animal behaviour.
His approach is direct: understand the craft, respect the subject and be ready when the wild offers something worth remembering.

Print, scale and framing
The finish should honour the photograph.

Field Notes
Stories from a life spent watching the wild.
More than 25 years in the field has taught John that wildlife photography begins long before the shutter is pressed. Field Notes brings together stories, observations and practical lessons from behind the photographs — from understanding animal behaviour and working patiently in the landscape to the encounters that remain long after the camera is packed away.
The right photograph usually makes itself known.
