Welcome to Beardynature photography

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 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 with the  minimum stress to the subject of the image & its surroundings. 

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

All images are taken with a DSLR camera , phone , or whatever, 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. I will try & bring out the best in the picture not create something new and unrecognisable. I will delete anything that strays too far from the original rather than publish it and take credit

I DO NOT use AI to create an image
