Across our trips, we work alongside trusted local guides & long-term partners. That local knowledge influences where we position ourselves, when we wait, & how photographic opportunities are recognised before they fully unfold.
The other members of our guiding team are Conny, Dan, David, Ian, Johnny, Pui Hang & Robin.
How Alison works in the field
Trips led by Alison prioritise time with subjects, repeat encounters, & the flexibility to respond to changing conditions. When behaviour develops or light improves, the group stays with it rather than moving on to meet a timetable.
Guidance is shared quietly & at the point it matters, covering exposure choices, autofocus setup, shutter speed decisions, subject isolation, backgrounds, & composition. For those who want it, there is also support in building sequences that reflect behaviour rather than isolated moments.
Destinations guided by Alison
The following countries reflect where Alison currently leads NaturesLens wildlife photography holidays, based on confirmed & recent departures – Greece & Norway.
Species Alison Loves Photographing
Every guide has their favourites – species they’re naturally drawn to, enjoy spending time with, & never tire of photographing. These are the species that Alison most enjoys photographing, & those they’ll always return to when the chance presents itself – Atlantic Puffin, Dalmatian Pelican, & White-tailed Eagle.
