Anyone who knows me knows leopards have always been my favourite animal.
There’s just something about them, calm, intelligent, independent, super elusive yet quietly powerful. I could watch them for hours and have been extremely fortunate to have spent lots of time on sightings over the years guiding.

On International Leopard Day, let’s celebrate the beauty and resilience of these incredible animals, and hoping we never lose the wild places they belong to!

I’ve noticed a fair few new followers around here lately. So I guess it’s about time I properly introduced myself.

I’m Sean a professional wildlife photographer and the truth is, I didn’t start with a camera or an interest in photography… I started with curiosity and a love for being outside.

I grew up loving the outdoors, constant muddy boots, camping in rural Wales as a kid, away virtually every weekend with marine cadets. Buzzing off spotting something new. Fortunately that excitement never left.

Then I joined the Royal Marines. Loads of time outdoors… mainly cold, wet, and being slowly broken down while pretending a puddle counted as a bed. Even then, I’d catch myself spotting birds mid-run. Looking back, it was a clear hint for things to come.

In 2010, an injury forced a reset. New life, new country, Singapore. Living next to a nature reserve meant wildlife was everywhere, monkeys, snakes, birds… chaos, in the best way. Curiosity turned into an obsession very quickly.

Australia came next. Bigger landscapes, stranger wildlife… and that’s where photography stopped being “just a hobby.”

It became something I needed.

It got me through some properly rough times. Gave me a way to switch off the noise, slow everything down, and focus on the here and now. No distractions, just being present in the moment.

I then went all in. Upgraded my camera kit, learned behaviours, light, patience… made all the mistakes. I then had a proper lightbulb moment on a photography course in London, where everything just came together, literally overnight, and from there, things started to click very quickly.

Since then, it’s grown more than I ever expected. Awards, publications, and even a book on the way. Now I guide photography tours all across the world with Wildlife Worldwide. From red kites in Wales, to Leopards in Zambia, to Dalmatian pelicans in Greece, places that have shaped everything I do.

Now I get to share it, I help people slow down, and notice more, and actually feel those moments (with a bit of structure… and plenty of laughs along the way).

At its core, nothing has changed.

It’s the love for being outdoors…over and over again.

Introducing the stunning White Tailed Sea Eagle, photographed in Hokkaido Japan.

What an unbelievable raptor!

On , it feels like the perfect moment to share this after years working with this species. It’s been so hard keeping this one a secret!

There’s a place in northern Greece that kept pulling me back, Lake Kerkini. I went for the Dalmatian pelicans, but stayed for something calmer. The stillness, the light, the people, the feeling that somehow time just feels slower there.

Up close, these birds feel prehistoric, yet fragile, and completely at home in a landscape that feels worlds apart from reality.

This book brings together a collection of photos that stayed with me most. Not just the striking ones, but the quieter ones too, the images you only get by waiting, watching, knowing your subject and returning year after year.

More than anything, it’s a reflection of my time there, and the quiet obsession that it quickly turned into.

Coming soon…

Last month I decided to join The Guild Of Photographers after a few years of persuasion from a friend.

This month I entered my first competition and got two Gold and two Silver awards.

And to top it all off I was also the overall winner in the Natural World genre for the month.

Bonus!

Not a bad a way to kick things off!
