Austin is a multi-award winning, widely published wildlife photographer based in Powys, UK. He started his photographic journey in 2007 when, as a budding bird spotter, he needed a way of recording images of birds he had seen whilst out carrying binoculars. His research led him to purchase a Canon DSLR and the rest is history as they say. He now views wildlife through a telephoto lens as well as binoculars, his bird ID skills have improved dramatically, and he enjoys travelling around the world to photograph wildlife.

His initial passion for UK birds, especially the Little owl and Kestrel, widened to include African wildlife, a focus that still exists today. In recent years he has taken his photography under water and enjoys exploring and photographing the natural world both above and below sea level.
