Botanical Photo Library

Welcome to my botanical photo library—a growing collection of plant photography built over more than two decades in the field. Here you'll find a curated portfolio of images capturing the beauty, diversity, and detail of plants from across the UK and around the world.

As both a botanist and botanical photographer, I aim to document plants with scientific accuracy while celebrating their visual and ecological richness. Whether you’re looking for reference material, creative inspiration, or high-quality botanical imagery for a project, I hope you find something here that resonates.

The selection below offers a glimpse into my portfolio. For a wider range of images, including species from various habitats and regions, you’re welcome to explore my full gallery on Flickr.

If you’re interested in licensing images, commissioning photography, or collaborating on a project, feel free to get in touch.
