Contributing writer for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year: Portfolio 28 and Portfolio 29, edited by Rosamund Kidman-Cox and published by the Natural History Museum. Each portfolio book displays the full collection of 100 images awarded in the annual international Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. The collections are both a showcase for photographers who specialise in documenting the natural world and a celebration of nature.

My role involved liaising with winning and shortlisted photographers from around the world to discover the back story to their images and undertaking thorough scientific research into behaviours being displayed in images or unusual moments captured by the photographer, before writing detailed and informative extended captions about each shortlisted image.

Along with being published in the 160-page hardback books, these extended captions were used alongside the 100 shortlisted and winning images displayed in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition held annually at the Natural History Museum, as well as the exhibition that travels to towns and cities around the world.
