‘THE PURPOSE OF ART IS TO MAKE VISIBLE THE INVISIBLE’ Franco Fontana

Hi

I'm Pete Downing and I’m a wildlife photographer living in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, UK.

Photography has changed my whole way of ‘seeing’.

The idea of freezing a moment in a way that might pass unnoticed by the casual observer is my primary objective.

I aspire to make interesting, thought provoking and hopefully unique images by applying my own personal aesthetic.

Whether the image is of a common species or a rarity is not my driving force. My aim is to create images that inspire the viewer to connect with the natural world regardless of the subject matter.

I hope you enjoy them!

All profits from my wildlife photography are donated to conservation charities globally.
