WILLIAM GRAY
WRITER | PHOTOGRAPHER | ZOOLOGIST | CONSERVATIONIST | WORKSHOP LEADER
Hello. I’ve been a writer and photographer for around 30 years and I’d love to share with you my passion for photography, wildlife and travel. Please explore these pages to find out about my one-to-one photography workshops in the Cotswolds, Cornwall and the Lake District, as well as small-group photo tours in Iceland and Namibia. You can also browse some of my photography portfolios (from Alaska to Tanzania) and support vital conservation work through the World Land Trust by purchasing signed limited-edition prints. My latest book – Family Wildlife Adventures was published in 2021 and I'm currently working on new titles – Photographing Britain and Costa Rica Wildlife Travel Guide .
NEW BOOK!
FAMILY WILDLIFE ADVENTURES
Connecting with nature. Back to the real world. That's what this book is all about. From island-hopping in the Isles of Scilly to wild camping along Scotland's Whale Trail, Family Wildlife Adventures is full of inspiration for exploring Britain's amazing wildlife with your children.

PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS
Be inspired. Get creative. Improve your photography.
Join me for a one-to-one, full-day or 3hr, tailor-made photography workshop in the Cotswolds. I also offer workshops in Cornwall and the Lake District. New for 2025, I'm excited to be launching week-long photo tours in Iceland (in association with Discover the World). You can also register your interest for my new photography holidays in Namibia.
Let's connect! If you like wildlife, landscape or travel photography, you may enjoy taking a look at my Instagram portfolio (just tap the icon above).
