Hi, I'm Simon Whalley. I've always been keen on nature since my Dad took me birdwatching. We'd often have an evening slow drive to see if we could see Barn Owls where I was brought up in East Yorkshire. I've taken that love of nature throughout my life and hope to help others connect or reconnect with nature. I live in the Eden Valley and co-own The Wilder Clay Gallery in Penrith, CA11 7YE with my partner Gwen Bainbridge. With my photography I seek to bring the viewer to a greater appreciation and connection with nature. Please browse the Galleries and shop to view my work and make purchases.

I'm keen that more of us live in harmony with nature and hope to contribute in whatever way I can. I am always happy to chat about my work and how my images may be used to promote your project or organisation, so don't hesitate to get in touch with requests, ideas. It's good to collaborate and do something positive.
