Ethical Wildlife Photography & Fieldcraft
from the heart of Britain’s wild places
“I'm Craig, The Wildlife Nomad. I believe wildlife should reveal itself to us on it's own terms. Through fieldcraft, patience, and respect, I share photography tips, ethical guides, and stories from Britain's wild places - helping you see more, disturb less, and connect deeply with nature.”
At The Wildlife Nomad, I believe that wildlife photography should never come at the cost of the animals we love. This site is dedicated to ethical wildlife photography, practical fieldcraft techniques, and UK wildlife guides that help you connect more deeply with nature.
Here you’ll find step-by-step advice on how to move quietly through Britain’s landscapes, recognise tracks and signs, and capture authentic images without disturbing the natural world. From photographing the red deer rut to reading otter footprints, my aim is to share knowledge that allows wildlife to reveal itself — while you wait, watch, and protect.
Explore the blog for fieldcraft insights, the gallery for moments in the wild, and the field guides for practical tools to take into the countryside. Whether you’re a photographer, conservationist, or nature lover, you’ll find inspiration here to see British wildlife in a new light — with patience, respect, and presence.
