Behind The Lens:
For days, an impenetrable sea fog eclipsed the island of Skomer, Wales. It was the height of the breeding season and I was surrounded by monogamous seabirds when a Razorbill arrived back to its partner after a long fishing trip. Their reunion was a wholesome moment of gentle embrace that I felt privileged to capture whilst lying face down on the cold jetty. My first intention was to capture the simplicity of their sleek, monochrome plumage against the icy fog. However, when I noticed the graceful symmetry of this pair strengthening their bond, my intentions changed. It was almost forty-five minutes before this behaviour was repeated, and captured just before a downpour of rain.

The Art of Wildlife Photography EBook

A Creative and Philosophical Guide to Capturing Natural Artistry
By Rachel Bigsby

In a world saturated with step-by-step tutorials and gear-focused advice, this comprehensive 55-page eBook offers something entirely different: a compelling blend of creative insight, practical experience, and personal philosophy. 

The Art of Wildlife Photography invites you to move beyond the technical and into the expressive; placing storytelling, emotion, and connection at the heart of every frame.

Written by award-winning photographer Rachel Bigsby, this guide opens the door to her process for the first time. Renowned for her high-key minimalism, painterly compositions, and deep ecological understanding, Rachel’s images are celebrated not only for their beauty, but for their emotional and scientific depth. Inside this eBook, she shares the approaches and insights that have shaped her signature style—techniques and philosophies that have earned her accolades from Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Bird Photographer of the Year, and National Geographic.
