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.

This report is a harbinger of things to come everywhere - collapsing ecosystems threatening the very fabric of life on which we & all other species depend. What is particularly alarming is the diverse nature of these ecosystems & that they're all at risk. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/feb/26/australian-scientists-warn-urgent-action-needed-to-save-19-collapsing-ecosystems

This is the painful reality of early 21st century life on Earth - the accelerating 6th Mass Extinction event. It's a much bigger threat to the future than Covid or climate change, as once species are gone, it's forever. Radical change is required now! https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/mar/03/australia-confirms-extinction-of-13-more-species-including-first-reptile-since-colonisation

It's great to read of this success story - it shows that concerted action can pull species back from the brink of extinction. However this is only feasible for a tiny proportion of species at risk - we need to drastically reduce human impacts to save more. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/03/how-the-pygmy-hog-was-saved-from-extinction-aoe
