Hello and welcome. My name is Ivor Ottley and I am a nature and wildlife photographer. I enjoy spending my time observing and photographing nature and wildlife, aiming to take both interesting and beautiful images that I can share with you here on my website

“Whilst suffering from severe tinnitus I bought a campervan and a camera. I went travelling around Europe, learning the fundamentals of photography by trial and error, finding quiet, inspiring and beautiful places to photograph, and staying there for as long as it took for me to capture the images i was looking for. Since then I have concentrated predominantly on taking images of wildlife, particularly but not only isolated to birds.”

Ivor has been featured and interviewed on UK television and radio, and his images are regularly published in national newspapers and magazines within the UK and globally.

Some of his images have got through to the finals of several International photographic competitions, recently having an image published in the ‘Wildlife photograher of the year’ book of selected finalists 2023.
