About Wild Frame

Photography begins before the camera is raised.

The photographer

Alex Rowan

Alex's practice developed through years of walking Britain's coasts, fells and woodlands in every season. Rather than chase spectacle, the work looks for quiet relationships between weather, habitat and animal behaviour.

Wild Frame shares that approach through editorial stories and free, small-group learning walks. Participants practise reading light, making careful compositions and moving through landscapes without disturbance.

Responsible practice is non-negotiable: public access rules are followed, nests and dens are never approached, locations are not altered for a photograph, and wildlife is always free to move away.
