Two Northern Gannets court on a narrow sandstone ledge near the base of the towering cliffs of Noss, Shetland. Their necks intertwine gracefully, forming a symmetrical shape against a dark hollow in the rock. The surrounding sandstone is streaked with white guano, creating natural curves that frame the birds. The scene is captured from a small boat below, timed precisely during a moment of alignment in the choppy sea swell.

A black and white, landscape image of Penguins at Port Charcot, Antarctica. The image reflects photographer Rachel Bigsby’s distinctive style: intimate, patient, and poetic, highlighting the strength and fragility of life at the edge of the world.

A series of ethereal images showing wild European Badgers emerging through a vibrant carpet of bluebells in ancient woodland. In soft, dreamlike light, the badgers peer through stems and shadow, their black-and-white faces framed by violet blooms. The photographs capture intimate, elusive moments born of years-long dedication by photographer Rachel Bigsby, who built deep trust with this clan. A rare and magical glimpse into one of the UK’s most iconic species in a setting few ever witness.
