'The Art of Courtship'
Winner of Natural Artistry (2023)
A life shaped by the sea and its birds.
At the intersection of art and advocacy, Rachel creates fine art wildlife photography specialising in seabirds and remote marine environments. Entirely self-taught, her work is shaped by years of independent field experience, voluntary conservation work and self-directed study.​ Her photography is founded on an intuitive approach that seeks not simply to document what a scene looks like, but what it feels like, moving away from conventional wildlife photography to develop her signature style guided only by the subjects she truly loves.
​
Rachel serves as a Nikon Europe Creator and as an Ambassador for the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds). Her work has earned international recognition, including winning the Natural Artistry Award in Wildlife Photographer of the Year and the Portfolio Award in Bird Photographer of the Year. Her imagery has appeared in publications including National Geographic and New Scientist, while her lectures have been delivered at venues such as the Natural History Museum, the Royal Geographical Society, the UK Parliament and the National Museum of Scotland.
Recognised as one of Britain's leading advocates for seabird conservation, Rachel has documented the devastating impacts of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) and most notably, she led and pioneered the international campaign to end Scotland's Guga Hunt. Today, Rachel continues to use her photography to inspire greater appreciation and protection for seabirds worldwide.
