I have spent a handful of nights moth trapping this spring/summer - and have had some fantastic results, including a Scarlet Tiger Moth (not all moths are brown and 'drab'!). Over the last few years I have made a concerted effort to re-wild parts of my garden as I try to improve the habitats of our wildlife big and small. This has included leaving areas of grass to grow long and the avoidance of using harmful chemicals, such as w**d killers etc. For me personally, I love filming and photographing these insects to show others what interesting and diverse wildlife we have right on our doorsteps.

Snapped during an adventure in Kenya a few years ago. This was taken during a performance of the Adumu dance - Maasai Jumping Dance. The warriors are judged on the height of their jump, but also on their grace and poise. The dance is typically performed on cultural occasions.

I know from experience the hard work that goes into choosing your wedding suppliers, and how overwhelming it can all feel. I now have an information and FAQ sheet available on my website which breaks down my main packages and provides clear information on what each package entails. By providing you with clear and concise information I hope it will help you find the videographer that's perfect for you!

Whilst out shooting some footage for The Woodland Trust last night, we heard snuffling coming from a thicket, just out of sight. We paused and we asked what could this creature be? Then out popped this little guy from somewhere behind the trees.

MAD ABOUT MOTHS!

Moths are fantastic creatures - pollinators who form a crucial part of our food chain. They can also be very impressive looking and they can be found right on your doorstep! In this film I set about bodging together my own moth trap because I don't want to pay hundreds for a pre-made one. I'll show you how I did it, and the amazing results I had!

**IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT USING A MOTH TRAP**- Check your moths before sunrise - yes, it's an early start! The heat from the sun could unfortuantely boil your m...

I am currently sat, staring into the abyss, wondering if my jet-lagged body will ever again feel like it hasn't been hit by a freight train. I have taken certain solace however, in looking back at all the wonderful creatures I encountered down under: Geckos, spiders, birds, rays, all manner of things! A true Aussie adventure. Here's a little peek at what I found...

Every wedding I get to film is an honour and a privilege. However, this weekend I filmed a particularly special wedding...My sister's.

Very proud brother.

I am currently down-under in Australia having a good old explore before a very important wedding! Feeling like a little lad again hunting for all the wildlife...even if some of it bites!

One of those occasions where you can just let the sound do all the work - especially when it sounds this good. 'Parting Glass' performed by Kelly Biswell & Earthlings with Elena

Being able to showcase our wondrous natural world, whilst highlighting the people and organisations involved in conservation efforts, is one of the main reasons I got into filmmaking, so it was a pleasure to be involved in this project for the Woodland Trust.
It was a wild day weather wise, but thanks to an extraordinary effort by all those involved 700 new trees were planted!

A little throwback to some magic moments this Valentine's Day.

Peek-a-boo. A spectacular moment seeing a rhino and their calf in the wild for the first time - A moment that will stay with me forever. Back in 2016, Using footage filmed by Save The Rhino staff, I made a little film on behalf of the charity 'Save The Rhino'. In this film it's explained, quite bluntly, why the rhino horn trade affects us all. You can still watch it:

Still as relevant today as it was back then.

*NEW AUDIOBOOK*! A little early Christmas present. 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens, has long been a favourite of mine, and is a book I return to year after year. After seeing too many 'dancy, panto-esque' re-tellings of this story on stage recently (I know, very Scrooge-like of me), I wanted to take my version of this tale back to being a proper ghost story, one which, before we have the redemption of Christmas Day, sends shivers down your spine.

This is the abridged version of 'A Christmas Carol', written by Charles Dickens for his stage performances. I hope you enjoy it and of course...God bless us, everyone. Full audiobook also available at: https://alexwjcreative.podbean.com

A REQUEST: If you enjoy this audiobook, perhaps I can ask for a favour... Beyond videography, I also record audiobooks for a Charity called 'Calibre Audio' (Calibre Audio). The charity produce audiobooks for those who find it difficult to read print, and they really do change peoples lives. Now, I must stress that this audiobook is a personal project and is NOT linked with Calibre in anyway shape or form, however, if you are feeling generous, please consider donating a few pounds to help them continue to raise the funds they need -
