About me

I am Michael Brook, a Photographer who primarily focuses on nature photography.  I was born in South Africa in 2004 and have lived in Africa, Asia and Europe. From first picking up a camera at the age of 18, I found a new way to marvel at nature. Providing a more personal perspective and close up interaction with the animals and landscape of the natural world. 

Currently living in Wales I am becoming more and more aware of the small and constant interactions with the natural world of which society seems to continuously under-appreciate. One of my main goals as a photographer is to capture the splendour of the natural world and bring its brilliance into the hands of the everyday person so more people see nature’s place in our ever growing world.
