Ways to work together
I work with equipment over time and in the situations wildlife photographers actually encounter. The result is useful photography and writing with enough substance to earn an enthusiast audience's trust.
Original wildlife image collections created in real UK conditions, from fast birds in flight to quieter behavioural moments.
Substantial first-hand articles that explain how equipment performs after genuine use, including the strengths and limitations.
Photography-led stories for launches, campaigns and community channels, supported by a full-resolution working archive.
Systems used in the field
Primary partnership focus
The OM-1 Mark II is the system I carry when mobility, weather resistance and handheld reach matter. My current field work includes the M.Zuiko 300mm F4 IS PRO and 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO, tested on birds in flight and everyday reserve photography.
High-speed wildlife and detail
I use the Sony A1 for demanding wildlife action, alongside the A7R V and compact A6700 for work where resolution, reach or portability takes priority. The FE 200-600mm remains a dependable reference point for Sony wildlife photography.
Portable prime-lens field work
The Sigma 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS Sports has become a regular walking lens for birds and wildlife. My review is built around its excellent portability and image quality as well as the practical E-mount limitations that buyers need to understand.
Editorial standards
My published reviews are based on equipment I have used for real wildlife photography. Where equipment is loaned, supplied or part of a paid project, that relationship will be disclosed clearly.
Brand partners can expect accurate product naming, carefully selected original files and practical observations. Readers can expect the same honest account of what worked, what did not and who the equipment will genuinely suit.
