The Yay.Fish blog
Welcome to my outdoor’s adventure blog. This website is being developed during the Coronavirus pandemic. Now you might wonder why I am working on an outdoors blog when we are being told to stay at home.
Well, maybe I can inspire a few of you to go camping in your gardens, learn a new skill that will help you get outdoors later or introduce you to a few extreme explorers and find out what they are doing during this pandemic.
longer-term, I would like this blog to develop into a source of inspiration that helps more people enjoy exploring outdoor spaces.
So, if you have any ideas, experiences, questions or thoughts about getting outdoors, please do contact me.

A bit about me
Well, I am a wild places and adventure sports photographer. Which means that I am passionate about getting outdoors, camping, caving, getting wet and muddy and photographing the landscapes that I find. Water is a big attraction for me, I love being in, on and under it and am a serial kayak paddler.
I live in London, UK, but the freedom I have by working as a freelancer means I can travel to wilder places regularly and I particularly love south Wales and the Brecon Beacons.
But I also appreciate outdoor urban spaces too and paddle my kayak regularly through central London on the River Thames.
I am a member of the following:
Professional photography
My photography has been published by a wide range of magazines and I undertake assignments for commercial clients too. I am totally passionate about creating awesome imagery for my clients and making stunning prints and wall art.
I am happy to consider commissions to illustrate magazine features, outdoor guides, websites and blogs. I can work with companies to photograph their outdoor gear in action for brochures, advertising, websites etc.

The River Within – London was exhibited at the Riverside Gallery in Richmond-Upon-Thames in the autumn 2019.
Kayaking
As you have probably realised by now, kayaking is my passion.
It was 1995 when I first sat in a kayak and was immediately hooked. I quickly got into competitive slalom as I loved the thrill of racing on whitewater. By 1999 I was competing nationally and was in division 1 (K1). Slalom is an excellent way to learn how to control a kayak on whitewater.
It’s a long time since I last competed in slalom events, but the skills learnt through training and competition have served me well for many whitewater adventures that I have since undertaken and photographed.
I was also a kayaking coach for many years at the Westminster Boating Base in central london.
