About

The Long Watch is a long-term wildlife photography and film project shaped by patience, distance, and time spent in the field.

Rather than chasing moments, this work is built around returning — to the same places, the same species, the same seasons — and observing what reveals itself when nothing is rushed. Many of the images and films here come from hours, days, and sometimes years of quiet presence, allowing wildlife to behave naturally and without pressure.

I work with a strong emphasis on ethical field practices: maintaining distance, minimizing disturbance, and placing the well-being of the subject above the image. The goal is not proximity, but understanding.

Photography and film are tools here, not the endpoint. They serve as a way to document patterns, behaviour, and the subtle moments that are easy to miss when the focus is only on spectacle. The Long Watch is about attention — learning to see more by doing less.

Over time, this project will expand beyond images and films into small, field-based experiences for those who value observation, patience, and respectful engagement with wild places. These will be intentionally limited in scale, shaped by the same principles that guide the work seen here.

This site is a living archive of that process — a record of time spent watching.
