Photography
Fully loaded on a camping trip to photograph the Araucaria (monkey puzzle tree) forests of the Cañi Sanctuary in the Chilean Andes.

I am an accomplished and experienced natural history photographer, and my images have featured in a wide variety of publications and books, including Time magazine, Encyclopedia Britannica, BBC Wildlife magazine etc.

My photography is represented by the Nature Picture Library under the name of Alan Watson.  I use my photographs to illustrate my presentations and talks, and many of them feature in my blogs.

I can provide any of these pictures (and those in my blogs) as high resolution image files for reproduction purposes on request – please contact me for details.

The galleries below feature some examples of my photography, grouped by themes.

Rainbows – NEW! It was William Wordsworth who said “My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky:” Here are some rainbow photographs to lift everyone’s hearts.

Macro photographs – NEW! I have a fascination for the miniature world in Nature, and this gallery features some of the wonders that are revealed at a high magnification.

Mangroves – This gallery features photographs of mangroves, the tidal forests that occur on tropical coastlines, and some of the wildlife occurring in them.

Primates – This gallery features photographs of primates, some of our closest relatives in the animal world, from various different countries.

Image of the Week – Each week I post an image on the Home page that I’ve taken recently (or occasionally from my back catalogue). This is an archive of them all.

Did you know that more than 50,000 woolly mammoth teeth have been dredged from the bed of the North Sea? And Doggerland was just one portion of the mammoth super highway. Photo: Mercury Press & Media #IceAgeEcosystems

While the headline uses the word 'populations' to describe fish, the article itself still uses the word 'stocks', which implies that fish are just a commodity for humans to exploit. Fish are free-living wild animals, not some stock item in a supermarket.

Maybe this can be a first step in finally acknowledging the wisdom & rights of native peoples, in the USA & other countries. "It aligns Indigenous environmental knowledge with presidential priorities that benefit everyone,” said Faith Spotted Eagle.
