About Andrew McCarthy

I am a photographer, ecologist and conservationist who has been lucky enough to have worked professionally with wildlife for over 30 years. My philosophy is not just to take great images for their own sake, but to use my work to highlight the beauty and complexity of the natural world, and to raise awareness of the fragility of our environment in a period of unprecedented change.  I specialize in nature photography – especially insect macro photography.  Insects are a fascinating  group of species on which we all critically depend, but which are declining globally at an alarming rate. 


Professional ecologist and published wildlife photographer with over 30 years photography experience. Winner of the 2018 macro (Hidden Britain) category in the British Wildlife Photography Awards. Offers photography workshops, 1:1's and personal mentoring across south-west England.
