• Story of the image

  I took this photograph at Martin’s Haven in Wales, while waiting for the Skomer Island ferry to depart. I noticed the comings and goings of a family of swallows who’d taken up residence in old storage barns. I chose to centre the subject as I wanted to incorporate the brickwork in the foreground, which is in shadow and helps draw the viewer’s eye towards the subject. I also positioned myself side-on to ensure the barn door faded out of focus into the background.

  I’m Anwen Whitehead, I started wildlife photography at 14 years old, and since then have loved capturing nature in a unique way. I feel wildlife photography has given me a new perspective on life, and I see the world very differently now. I hope to capture the magic I see in nature in my photos, and inspire others to cherish the wonderful biodiversity of our planet
