Hi, I’m Pete King.

I am an amateur British wildlife photographer based in Faringdon, Oxfordshire, UK specialising in wildlife photography, macro photography, and African wildlife. My work focuses on natural behaviour, atmosphere, fine detail and subtle moments that many never experience.
​
My photography is built around patience, time in the field, familiarity with habitat, and repeated field visits. It’s also about seeking the light rather than blindly ticking the species list; l will bypass sleeping lions for the chance of something more engaging. Many images are created over extended periods, allowing for behaviour, changing light, and environmental conditions to influence the final photograph naturally.                             
However, in this context, wildlife comes first – always. If I feel that I’m affecting behaviour in any way, I will leave. It’s their world and environment and I have no given right to encroach upon it.

Fine art prints and greeting cards will be available through the online shop, (work in progress). Prints can be purchased as digital downloads, to be mounted in a preferred way by the purchaser, or as framed prints. These are simple, but attractive aluminium framed surrounds that provide an attractive and cost-effective framing solution.

What else do I do?

I am a member of OxSAR and a volunteer ranger with the National Trust. OxSAR (Oxfordshire Lowland Search and Rescue), are a team of professional volunteers on call 24/7/365 who search for high risk vulnerable missing people. We assist Thames Valley Police to find these people, bring them to safety and reunite them with their loved ones. Any profits from my sales go to this organisation.

My Approach

My ethos is simple - Wildlife and habitat first - always - no compromise.

Simple ideas

But shown in a different way.
