Understanding the impact of our modern world on these creatures is the motivation that drives this work. All of these species are impacted by human society, whether inadequate care in captivity, habitat loss, light pollution, illegal trapping, chemical and plastic pollution, animal testing, or the brutality of factory farming.

Duck, 2020
‘I have seen the deep connection and care that we can have for non-human creatures and how our empathy can extend to the most unusual of animals. But modern society has made it incredibly difficult to avoid doing harm to creatures that we would never wish to hurt. I hope my photographs can be part of the conversation about how we can preserve, protect and restore our natural environment and its inhabitants.



I believe that we can always do better, from our smallest daily decisions to our greatest aspirations of how to live mindfully in this entangled world’
