Welcome to Beardynature photography

All wildlife is photographed with the minimal disruption. A Range of photographic equipment, field craft and other non-invasive techniques are used to keep the image as natural as possible and minimum stress to the subject of the image or its surroundings. 

Any exotic or non native species featured is usually captive-bred (unless stated) and images are taken in rescue centres, zoos, wildlife parks, and also via reputable businesses or charities. 

I am originally from Manchester but now live in Stoke-on-Trent. My images are the result of my wanderings with my camera. Sometimes, I set out to capture specific species or work on small projects. Other times, I wander without a plan and capture pictures I might have otherwise missed without my camera.

You never know what you will see while out & about with a camera !!

All images are taken with a DSLR camera , phone , or whatever camera I have with me. Sometimes an image might need a little TLC. 

I always use any editing software as little as possible and keep the image as close to the original  in camera Image. I will delete something rather than manipulate it to create an unrecognisable image. 

I DO NOT use AI to create an image
