The natural world mostly. Things catch my eye all the time. I can’t pin down one influence, though years back I worked for Stephen Dalton, a phenomenal wildlife photographer and the father of high speed wildlife photography. His technical approach to image capture has had a subconscious, but lasting, impact on me.

I’m a Canon fan, so a whole range of cameras from EOS 5DsR and mirrorless like the EOS R to M6 Mark II, Cinema C500 Mark II, C200 etc. It depends on the shoot. In terms of lenses, that’s driven by the story I’m trying to tell - I like to make sure I have some environmental images with the subject in their habitat, so that can be wider lenses, but for distant subjects, in Africa I love the EF400mm f/2.8L IS USM and for working from a small boat in Mexico with whales I prefer the versatility and light weight of the EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L II IS USM. 

I’m very much a shoot on the move style of photographer. That doesn’t mean I don’t setup and wait sometimes, but more often than not I’m responding to situations rather than planning them out. 

How long is a piece of string?! It is so subject dependent and there is no Holy Grail of a perfect image. I’m always striving for better, spotting flaws in images I’ve taken and trying to do better next time. It means that while I have keepers, I keep shooting and refining!
