Let’s start with the best places where a wildlife photographer can get the maximum inspiration. Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska: If you want to venture into the wild to click some amazing pictures then here is another place which is a must visit for you. With the rugged mountains, dynamic glaciers, temperate rain falls, Glacier National park is the best for wildlife photography. Whether it’s the vivid wildlife or the Glacier Bay this region has a lot to offer. One can find the rarest glacier blue bear at Glacier Bay. This place is also home to a large bear population, both brown and black. Also, clicks some of the best shots of the endangered humpback whale, orcas, threatened stellar sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters and porpoises.

Antarctica: Trips aboard expedition vessels typically depart from Patagonia with some departures accompanied by TV cameramen or ‘celebrity’ photographers such as Chris Packham and Mark Carwardine. It’s worth researching who will be joining your trip to make your decision. Zodiac boats take you on snowshoeing excursions, while evenings might see you attending fascinating onboard lectures. Every ship offers viewpoints on deck from where you might see whales, penguins and huge seal colonies.

An original painting in acrylics, on a card base. Painted on 26th / 27th May 2019 as an original piece during my 24-hour “Paint for Wildlife” paintathon, one of 19 original wildlife paintings I produced during the twenty four hours. Unframed and unmounted. It measures 21.0cm (8.27 inches) wide by 29.7cm (11.69 inches) high. This will be carefully packed in a study cardboard box. I always try to send items out the next working day after payment has been received, where possible. All items are sent by tracked mail. Find more info on Wildlife Artwork.

My new supplier going forward is a UK based company that focuses on minimising their impact on the environment, and aims to guide and influence their customers into making eco-friendly choices for their printing. Through this, I am now able to offer products that: were produced by a waterless and chemical free printer; are supplied in only recycled boxes with biodegradable eco-flo packaging as an alternative to polyester ‘peanuts’; contain only 100% recycled paper or paper from sustainably managed forests; use Carbon Offset papers and printed with vegetable oil based inks; and produced by people who recycle 100% of their printing generated waste with none going to landfill!

My fascination for the natural world started at a very early age, and my love of animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. During my senior years at Birkenhead High School for Girls (2006- 2013), I developed a deep passion for drawing and painting, and art became the central focus of my studies. I was truly inspired by wildlife artists such as David Shepherd and Jason Morgan, and wildlife art became the main theme of all my work. Discover extra details at vlgstudios.com.
