Sandra's has had a passion for photography since an early age, when her Dad bought her a Pentax Spotomatic F as her first camera. She has always enjoyed photographing Nature, but a trip to Tysfjord in 2002, to see Killer Whales, is what set Sandra on course to concentrate her photography more specifically on wildlife.
Since 2002, Nikon has been Sandra's choice for camera's and lenses. Starting with a D200, then progressing to a D300s, D3s, D5 and now a mirrorless Z9 body matched with a variety of Nikon lenses. However, Sandra's "go to" lens is the amazing AF-S Nikkor 180mm - 400mm f4/E TC1.4 FL ED VR lens. From photographing Hare's on snow covered Scottish mountains, Dippers on frozen Norwegian rivers, Otters on seaweed strewn coasts, right through to Red Foxes in sub-zero temperatures in the Arctic. Solid, reliable gear is essential.
Travelling to remote places, in cold, snowy winter conditions is Sandra's favourite recipe for capturing images which depict the resilience and beauty of the wildlife she photographs. Choosing not to photograph at commercial hides, but preferring instead at working hard to find her own photographic subjects, in the hope of capturing unique and captivating images. An avid traveller, Sandra drives in her overland camper to explore the roads less travelled, and photograph the wildlife she encounters along the way!
This website is a tiny selection of images made over two decades, with passion, time, patience, respect and resilience. Every single image has been an absolute privilege to make, and the fact that it has been done independently of any commercial hides is something that Sandra prides herself on.
