My article series, “Capturing Behaviour” for Wildlife Photographic Magazine explores the importance of being able to identify and anticipate a variety of common animal behaviour to achieve better and more captivating results with readers’ wildlife photography.

This article series helps readers to understand why wildlife behaviour is important to wildlife photography. My writing is illustrated with my wildlife photographs.

One of the attributes of a memorable photograph is its potential to tell a story. The ability to tell the story of an animal is built on the wildlife photographer’s understanding and awareness of behaviour.

In the series “Capturing Behaviour”, we looked at how to photograph the oftentimes striking behaviour of mammals, birds, amphibians and insects wherever they inhabit. The series covers a range of behaviours including courtship, aggression, social behaviour, territorial marking, nest building, communal drinking, play, mating and emergence.
