Welcome to BeardyNature.com
About 15 years ago I picked up a camera and began to take pictures. It was a second hand Samsung SLR that started me on this journey to where i am today with my photography.
I loved being out with my camera taking pictures of anything and everything & then my son arrived and i suddenly had a person that didn’t mind me sticking a camera in his face.
It sort of developed from there and while being out in parks and on days out i started to take pictures of other things. Ive always had an interest in the natural world and it grew from there. I started to look for things to take pictures of colourful flowers, insects, birds as well as the daily 200 pictures of my son playing and growing up.
Then about 6 years ago my mental health hit rock bottom. Everything changed and from there I used photography as a road back to getting back to some sort of normal. I was out most days using the quiet time to figure out life and take a few pictures. This is where my interest in nature rocketed and I would sometimes sit for hours waiting for something to click in my head or something to land, fly past or appear in front of my camera.
And so the journey continues. Still chasing nature & wildlife wherever I can find it and using the quiet time to reset and learn about the local natural world. With the help of friends, family, and my amazing partner i am able to take pictures, spend time outside and get all the help and support I can wish for.
Enjoy all the images on here and don’t forget to follow me on Instagram & facebook or email me if you want to enquire about buying any of the images in digital, printed, or framed format.
