Sharks. Photography. Puns.
Thanks for stopping by! I’m a co-founder and whale shark researcher at the Marine Megafauna Foundation, and an irredeemable wildlife geek at Nature Tripper. I use this site (and my newsletter) to share my latest work… and dad jokes.
October 2019: I’m currently in New Zealand working on a scientific book about whale sharks (I’m co-editing with Dr Al Dove). Madeleine and I have been busily working on our new wildlife travel & photography site, Nature Tripper.
I’ve written up several new articles: fun facts about whale sharks, a diver’s guide to whale sharks in the Galapagos, and a photo feature from our recent scuba diving liveaboard trip through that amazing archipelago.

New Writing:
I’m working on lots of content for Nature Tripper at the moment! I’ll add those links below…
New Photography:
I spent July working as a Photographer in Residence for G Adventures on their Arctic expedition ship. We had some amazing wildlife encounters, including polar bears, blue whales, and walrus. My updated Arctic photo gallery is here.
After that, I flew over to the Galapagos in August for a wildlife trip and dive liveaboard for Aqua-Firma, then joined a research cruise with the Galapagos Whale Shark Project. We identified 33 whale sharks and got a bunch of tagging done. See my Galapagos collection here.
You can see all of my favourite recent photos (from the last 90 days) on Photoshelter. A few new shots made it into my top 100 photos, so that was great!
