Michael’s Mission Statement:

CREATIVITY | LEARNING | PASSION | CONSERVATION | ETHICS

The natural world is an incredibly important part of my life and has been since I was very young. It’s a place where I can relax and rejuvenate, constantly in awe of its beauty. I feel privileged to be able to go out and photograph the natural world’s wildlife, plants, insects and landscapes and share my images for others to appreciate. I am also eternally grateful to make a living out of sharing my passion for the natural world, by teaching photography in the field. I always strongly promote photographing wildlife and nature in an ethical way. As the saying goes ‘Take only photographs – leave only footprints’
