“‘I find peace and solitude in myself when I spend time immersed in Nature. When the elements are against you whether its rain or wind most people seek shelter, for me its time to be out when nature is at its raw state and allows you to capture that perfect wild moment. For me, its not only about getting the perfect picture of a bird or an animal, but more about capturing that unique & special moment that lasts a lifetime in your mind’”
Richard Birchett
Wildlife Photographer & Conservationist
“The Welfare of the Subject must always come first and never at the expense of an image”
“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story through imagery can make all the difference.”
“Always leave Wildlife as you find them, enjoy that moment & leave without a trace”
“NATURE FIRST - THE ALLIANCE FOR RESPONSIBLE NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY
