My Story

Ray has travelled to all parts of the UK, and locations much further afield, including the rain forest in Borneo! Ray has worked on a number of different projects globally, for example photographing Orangutans in the rain forest, bears in the frozen forests of Finland.

Ray`s photography concentrates on the natural world and is motivated by a desire to capture its beauty in camera. Rays` favourite photographs are often those which record a 'decisive moment' and show wild creatures in the context of their natural habitat, sometimes with an element of minimalist.

Since starting photography, Ray has built up an amazing portfolio of images covering many subjects, other images can be seen on both Rays` social networking Facebook, X (formally Twitter) pages, with video available on YouTube.
