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.

November 2019: I’m currently on Mafia Island in Tanzania working on whale sharks with Chris Rohner. I’ve created a new section here on the site, Field Notes, to share regular updates on what we’re up to! You can learn more, and support this work, on Patreon.

Writing:
I’m working on lots of articles for Nature Tripper at the moment. Here are some links to my latest features:
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!
