This is where lived experience, craftsmanship and time spent observing the world come together behind the lens. I turn 60 this year, and for more than three decades photography has been not simply my profession, but the way I understand people, place and moment. Rooted in a lifetime spent outdoors and shaped by formal training and professional practice, my work reflects a deep knowledge of both photographic discipline and field sports photography (sometimes spelled fieldsports photography).

I grew up on Cornwall's wild north coast on a farm that ran down to the sea where a close relationship with the land, the sea and rural life was formed early. Long before art school or formal instruction, I was taught the fundamentals of photography by my late father using his well-worn Rolleiflex and a Leica he affectionately referred to as his “DeMob present” both of which I still own and use. He taught me to move, to anticipate, and to compose decisively in-camera rather than rely on cropping later in the darkroom. That approach has remained central to the way I work ever since.

After leaving art school in 1988, I moved to London and began my professional career as a photographer. Those early years sharpened my technical precision, observational skills and ability to work quietly within demanding environments. In time, my focus returned naturally to the pursuits and landscapes I had grown up with, bringing together formal photographic training with a practical, first-hand understanding of field sports and rural life.

Through my photography, I aim to record far more than scenery or action. My work centres on the people who dedicate themselves to managing, protecting and working the land. With respect for continuity and custom, I document shared values, skill passed between generations, and the quiet moments that often mean the most.

Each season I spend over 110 days in the field across the UK, before travelling further afield in pursuit of bigger game and hard-fighting fish. From the wilderness of Alaska to the sun-washed landscapes of Argentina; from Atlantic salmon in Scandinavia’s cold rivers to the savannahs of South Africa, Walking Gun Photography records the enduring character of country pursuits. Whether photographing teams or individuals, entire seasons, families sharing time together, or the final outings of much-loved companions, every image is created with care, sensitivity and an understanding of what truly matters.

If you’re marking a milestone, planning a special day in the field, or simply wish to preserve a moment properly — beyond the limitations of a smartphone I’d be delighted to talk. Together, we can turn fleeting moments into photographs that endure.
