Working with Conservation Groups

I work with conservation charities, local ecology groups, councils and community projects to document their work and help them share it with the people who need to see it. With a background in marine and freshwater biology, zoology and many years as a qualified teacher, I approach conservation photography with a clear understanding of the science behind the work and how to communicate it to the public.

My aim is simple: to create images and short films that help organisations show what they do, why it matters and how it makes a difference.

What I can provide:

Photography for projects, habitats and species

Whether it is river restoration, canal maintenance, farmland habitat work or surveys, I can photograph the work in a way that explains your aims and captures the detail. This includes:

  • habitat management

  • monitoring and survey activity

  • volunteer days

  • species behaviour and identification

  • before and after records

  • project milestones

These images can be used for reports, websites, social media, grant applications and public engagement.

Short videos and visual explainers

Some projects benefit from simple, clear video content. I produce short films that work well for social media, visitor centres, school resources and project updates. These films can highlight:

  • what a project is trying to achieve

  • who is involved

  • progress over time

  • the species or habitats being supported

Education and outreach support

With my teaching background, I can help turn conservation work into accessible content for schools and communities. This can include:

  • photo-led resources for lessons or assemblies

  • simple explainers for habitats, species or processes

  • visual material for workshops and talks

  • clear writing to accompany imagery

This is particularly useful for organisations that want to connect their fieldwork with young people or the wider public.

How I work:

Local, repeatable and flexible

Based in Southam, I cover Warwickshire and the wider Midlands. This means I can revisit sites through the year, track seasonal progress and document projects at key stages without extensive travel.

Science-informed and accurate

My biology background means I understand ecological terminology, species identification, survey methods and the importance of ethical fieldwork. This helps ensure your work is represented accurately.

Collaborative, not intrusive

I aim to support your work, not interrupt it. Whether I am joining a volunteer day or covering a survey, I adapt to your schedule and the needs of your team.

Who I work with

I collaborate with:

  • conservation charities and trusts

  • river and canal groups

  • wildlife monitoring groups

  • local councils

  • schools and education teams

  • rewilding and habitat restoration projects

  • community groups running wildlife activity

If your organisation is involved in supporting nature, I can help document that work.

Start a conversation

If you have a project that would benefit from clear, honest visual storytelling, I would be happy to talk. You might need a small set of images for a report, a visual diary of a restoration project or a longer-term record over several seasons.

You can contact me through this website or by email. I am always happy to arrange a visit to understand what you need.
