Andy Parkinson<br />

Andy works exclusively with animals<br />

and birds that are wild and free, and<br />

immerses himself in the life <strong>of</strong> his<br />

subjects in order to produce images<br />

<strong>of</strong> behaviours that have never been<br />

captured before. His recent work with<br />

gannets, on assignment for National<br />

Geographic, is an example <strong>of</strong> this.<br />

He spent three months living on the<br />

northernmost tip <strong>of</strong> the Shetland Islands<br />

and had three <strong>of</strong> his tents destroyed by<br />

ferocious gales there!<br />
