Rachel Bigsby is a wildlife photographer whose genuine passion for nature and creative flair have driven her journey in the field; at the young age of 27, she has already won the 'Natural Artistry' category in Wildlife Photographer of the Year as well as the Portfolio Award in Bird Photographer of the Year. Rachel is a Nikon Creator, a published photographer for National Geographic and a photography expedition guide.
With no formal training, Rachel's career is self-made and she has carved her own path, honing her skills and artistic vision through relentless dedication. Her photography is not just about capturing beautiful images but about telling intricate stories. Guided by her extensive knowledge of her carefully selected subjects, she possesses a unique ability to anticipate moments and capture finer details and behaviours that often go unnoticed. Rachel’s images are infused with these, offering viewers a chance to see her subjects in a way that is both scientifically informed and artistically profound.
