How did you get into wildlife and
nature photography?
When I started to get into
photography, the Peak District
happened to be the closest location
to me. With sweeping landscapes and
an abundance of wildlife, it was the
perfect place to ignite my passion for
this genre of photography.
What are your current main bodies
and lenses?
My primary set-up is the OM-D E-M1X
with the M.Zuiko 300mm F4.0 IS PRO
attached. Depending on the subject
I’m out to shoot, this could be with or
without the the MC-14 or MC-20.
My second shooter is now the
OM-D E-M1 Mark III with the M.Zuiko
40-150mm F2.8 PRO, again with or
without the teleconverters. This ensures
I’m prepared for every eventuality if I
have any unexpected encounters with
wildlife, and my distance to subject.
Beyond this, I will frequently use
the M.Zuiko 12-40mm F2.8 PRO when
remotely controlling my camera
through the O.I Share app, or if the
situation allows, I’ll use the M.Zuiko
7-14mm F2.8 PRO.
