HARVEY'S STORY
From a young age, Harvey was captivated by the world of wildlife. He spent hours in his garden, armed with a tub and a magnifying glass, searching for creepy crawlies. As he grew older, his fascination deepened, and he found himself glued to nature documentaries, always captivated by the behind-the-scenes footage. He would watch in awe and think, 'That’s what I want to do when I’m older.'
​
Today, Harvey is fortunate enough to turn that childhood passion into a career, capturing the wonders of the natural world through film and photography. His work focuses on telling powerful stories about ecology, conservation, and the beauty of the natural world, with a particular love for exploring both land and underwater ecosystems. Through his lens, he aims to inspire others to appreciate and protect the wildlife that surrounds us.
