Earth Day | Reality I've been unsure of how or wh

Earth Day | Reality I've been unsure of how or when to share these images for a long time. They are just sad. They highlight so much that is wrong. But to not share would be to deny reality, to try and hide from what's real. I don't want to pretend things are different from how they are. I have been thinking about what sort of photographer I want to be. I don't want to chase likes and follow the trends, or paint a picture that hides the truth. I want to seek out and capture authentic moments. Moments that are unique, that are different and that spark curiosity. Moments that lead to questions. Questions that lead to thoughts and thoughts that lead to ideas. More often than not, these are positive moments because that matches my positive outlook. But in this case, not. To deny the negative moments would be to deny life. There is no good without bad and you gotta be down sometimes to recognise when things are up. So here is a sad moment. A reminder that we must all do better. Let's celebrate the Earth by all doing better everyday.

My work featured in @thepaddler Magazine! Amazing

My work featured in @thepaddler Magazine! Amazing to bag 11 pages and include 6 of my own images alongside, plus incredible photos provided from the outfitters in areas I am yet to visit. The piece is highlighting a selection of the best sea kayak destinations in the world - a few places I have already been fortunate to visit and many that are next on my list. Hoping to provide some paddle inspiration for everybody who's bored of staying at home and a chance to shout out some of my friends around the world doing great things in the kayak community. Head to The Paddler website for a free download or to order a printed copy ✌ .

The Nearly There Trees This tiny forest on the h

The Nearly There Trees This tiny forest on the hill means so much to so many. The symbolic grove marks the beginning of a trip down nostalgia lane, it sparks memories of the idyllic Cornish childhood summers. Swimming in the Perranporth pool, surfing at Fistral beach and crabbing off the quayside. And best of all - the end of a 5-6 hour drive! Recently they've become the 'Nearly Home Tree's' for me, but the memories come flooding back every time nonetheless. 🌳✌🌳

Land, sea and air. It's all connected. The clouds

Land, sea and air. It's all connected. The clouds ebb and flow like tides. Airstreams and rivers. Water is the life of the Earth. What runs along and into the ground is the same as what's above our heads. It's beneath our feet and in the air we breath. Let's continue to move forward in protecting and caring for the lands, rivers and waterways. And not dump 1 million tons of radioactive waste from Fukushima into the ocean 😳

Through the Portal 🧙‍♂️🧙‍♀️ Sa

Through the Portal 🧙‍♂️🧙‍♀️ Same place, two very different results. I find it really interesting to see what other people capture from the same event. Often it's something you've completely missed or overlooked yourself, or in another style. It really is looking through someone else's eyes.

You can start GETTING PAID TO TRAVEL with a job that you love by entering the Outdoor Industry. Over the last few months I have been creating this ebook to help guide you on your own path to begin a life filled with adventure and good times! This is the thing that I wished existed when I began my own journey of discovery 8 years ago. I wasted a lot of time, money and energy, never really knowing where this could take me or how to get there. I was good at winging it, stuck the course and ended up living and working all over the world. With this ebook, you will be able to choose a clear pathway to success by developing goals in line with your own dreams. This has been designed out of my own personal experience, as well as that of the many folks I have met along the way. Whether you are looking for a summer break, a gap year, a winter ski season or to begin a lifelong career in the outdoors, you will find clear direction to start making that happen. Some of my own jobs in the Outdoor Industry include: - Sea kayaking with humpback whales & orca
- Camping in the deserts of Inner Mongolia
- Hiking the Great Wall of China
- Leading expeditions to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro
- Digging watering holes for African wildlife
- Ripping around on jet skis with children's charity groups
- Kayaking alongside erupting volcanoes
- Snowboarding for 24 months in a 5 year period With the right skill set, you can begin exploring the world and wilderness, taking paying clients on their own bucket list adventures. Follow the link in my bio and click I WANT THIS to begin. Oh, and here's 25% off for good measure with discount code 'travel' ✌️ .

How's your Monday going?
(swipe for video) 🦁🍽️🦓 Whatever hardships you're facing, remember, it could always be worse... You could be this adolsecent zebra that's been chosen for dinner by the Tarangire lions. Witnessing the circle of life revolving is one of the most spectactular sights, full of emotion. Sadness at the pain of suffering, yet understanding that's just the way the natural world works. It's how all other carniverous animals collect their supper. That was a prevalant thought I had, just a few weeks later when camping in the Serengeti. I silently lay awake, eyes wide open, on high alert whilst listening to a pride of lions roar their way around our perimeter, with nothing but a thin sheet of nylon between us. So anyway, still some spaces on Tanzania trips later this year. Who's coming? Photos taken by me, video by my good friend @tropeaksadventuresltd .
