My name is Rachel Bigsby, a wildlife photographer specialising in seabirds, remote locations, and conservation-focused visual storytelling. My work has been internationally recognised, including the Natural Artistry Award in Wildlife Photographer of the Year and the Portfolio Award in Bird Photographer of the Year. I’m a Nikon Creator, an RSPB ambassador, a published National Geographic photographer, and a wildlife photography expedition leader. I’m a self-taught photographer, building my career through hands-on fieldwork, independent research, and years of experience working closely with wildlife. On this channel, I share behind-the-scenes insights into wildlife photography, filming in extreme environments, ethical field practice, and the realities of working in conservation-led photography. My work goes beyond creating images. By combining scientific understanding with artistic vision, I aim to tell honest stories about wildlife that encourage deeper connection, respect, and long-term conservation awareness. --- Equipment featured in this video: Nikon Z9 Nikkor Z 600mm f/4 Nikkor 70 - 200mm f/2.8 Nikon Monarch M7 Plus 8x30 binoculars Music: Music: bensound.com License code: VIS6Z3WR1IL7LEJD
