A portfolio of harbour seals, garden birds, and the animals that share our homes. These were shot at eye level, in real light, wherever the story actually happens.
I started photographing animals because sitting still long enough to earn their trust taught me more about a place than anything else could. Three years working across resource development, education, and animal care at a seabird rescue organisation shaped how I shoot. Low, unhurried, and led by the animal rather than the frame.
What follows is a working selection which includes harbour wildlife, garden birds, backlit studies, and the household companions who never stop performing for a camera. Every image here was made on location, in available light, no staging.
Harbour docks sunrise and last light, where the colonies haul out to warm up between fishing runs.

Smaller sightings. Proof the good frame is often the quiet one.


The series I keep returning to. One lamp, one silhouette, fur catching fire at the edges.

Dogs and cats at home and on the street. The brief every pet owner actually wants which is personality, not a pose.
