Description
I’ve always found urban nature and specifically urban foxes, interesting as they adapt to live alongside us and navigate the dangers of city life. Foxes have a very distinct profile. You can often tell a fox is a fox from a glimpse of its shape and outline, even without a clear view of the details of the animal. I wanted to create a portfolio looking at foxes in our urban world through a variety of man-made light sources to make a visually interesting work.

Portfolio – Runner-up 2024
Description
I made a bucket list of shots for my long-anticipated first visit to Skomer Island in Wales. It was a misty morning but the sun broke through the clouds in the afternoon, exposing a spectacular backdrop. The vivid blues of the sea beautifully frame the landing of an Atlantic puffin in flight and the puffin at sea. I also like the warmth of the greens and the contrasting colours of the adult puffins and young pufflings among the chamomile.
