Wildlight

Beyond Colour – A Monochrome Collection of the wildlife images and projects

Wildlight is an ongoing black-and-white fine art photography project exploring the form, character, behaviours and essence of wild animals. By removing colour to highlight the natural structure, expression, and presence of wildlife, the project invites a deeper connection with each subject — revealing animals in their most elemental and evocative form.

This large growing body of work stands at the centre of an evolving artistic journey, with a number of smaller, connected projects branching from it. Each of these smaller works explores different aspects or themes within the same monochrome wildlife aesthetic, contributing to the depth and scope of Wildlight as a whole.

A selection of five images from this collection has already been exhibited as part of a dedicated showcase, with many more planned for future exhibitions and publications (for more information please see bellow). As Wildlight continues to evolve, it reflects a personal journey into fine art wildlife photography.


What makes Wildlight unique is its commitment to stripping away distraction in order to reveal something deeper — a quiet, focused way of seeing wildlife. In a world saturated with vibrant, fast-paced imagery, this project takes a slower, more considered approach. By working solely in black and white, Wildlight invites viewers to engage with the wildlife not just as subjects of nature photography, but as creatures with their own beauty.

Wildlife photography from Scotland exhibition

Showing 16th September 2024 - 26th October 2024 on the FLOW Photofest wall, At Eden Court Theatre in the One Touch Corridor.

“Wildlife Photography from Scotland” was my first solo exhibition and my first time sharing my wildlife photography with the public. It was an incredible experience that taught me a great deal and marked a pivotal moment in the direction of my work.

The exhibition helped me discover my passion for fine art wildlife photography, particularly in black and white. It gave me the confidence to fully embrace this style and explore its creative potential.

The show was a great success—I received fantastic feedback and even made my first sale, which was an unforgettable milestone. More importantly, it provided valuable insight into both the strengths of my current work and the areas I want to develop moving forward.

What’s Next?

As Wildlight continues to grow, the next phase of the project will focus on developing a series of smaller, themed sub-projects within the wider body of work. These connected collections will explore more focused ideas such as specific species and behaviours, using a more artistic approach to storytelling through photography. Each will experiment with light, form, and composition to express the character and movement of wildlife in new and creative ways — all within the stripped-back language of black and white.

Future exhibitions are planned to showcase both existing work and new additions to the project. These exhibitions will offer a deeper look into the ongoing development of Wildlight, highlighting its continued shift toward expressive, fine art wildlife photography.
