Join professional wildlife photographer Simon Booker for an immersive journey into the extraordinary world of British wildlife, much of it found surprisingly close to home.
From playful otters and vivid kingfishers to elusive hares, foxes and birds of prey, Simon’s photography captures the beauty and character of animals we often pass without truly seeing. Based in Oxfordshire, Simon has developed his craft through patience, fieldcraft and a deep understanding of animal behaviour, photographing wildlife across the local countryside and waterways.
But Strictly Nature goes beyond stunning images. Simon takes you behind the scenes to discover what it really takes to capture a memorable wildlife photograph — from finding and understanding his subjects and choosing the right equipment, to anticipating behaviour and waiting for that magical moment. Expect spectacular photography and film, fascinating stories, practical tips and plenty of humour.
Simon’s work has featured in regional and national media and has been exhibited as fine-art photography. He has judged photography competitions, run wildlife photography workshops and delivered talks to photographic societies, wildlife groups, schools and community audiences.
Whether you’re a keen photographer, a wildlife enthusiast or simply curious about the natural world around you, Strictly Nature will leave you inspired to slow down, look more closely and discover the remarkable wildlife on your own doorstep.
