Kevin Morgans

I’m Kevin Morgans – a multi-award-winning wildlife photographer, tour leader, and photographic guide with an enduring passion for the wild places and remarkable wildlife of the British Isles. My journey began on rugged coastlines, where I first became captivated by seabirds—creatures full of character, resilience, and mystery. What started as a fascination soon became a lifelong calling: to tell their stories through powerful imagery and to use photography as a tool for conservation.

A Passion for Seabirds & Conservation

Seabirds hold a special place in my heart, and they have become central to my work. My ongoing dedication to photographing the Atlantic puffin has led to some of my proudest achievements—winning the prestigious Portfolio Prize in Bird Photographer of the Year, and the publication of my book, Puffins: Life on the Atlantic Edge. These milestones represent far more than awards or publications; they are part of a broader mission to raise awareness of the challenges these birds face and to celebrate their lives along our fragile coastlines.

Mission & Values

At the core of my work is a simple mission: to inspire a deeper connection between people and the natural world. Through my photography, I aim to celebrate the beauty of wildlife, highlight the pressures it faces, and encourage its protection for future generations.

My guiding values are:

  • Respect for nature – always putting the welfare of wildlife first.

  • Authentic storytelling – creating images that go beyond aesthetics to reveal the truth of the moment.

  • Sharing knowledge – empowering others to capture, understand, and care for the world around them.

Guiding & Inspiring Others

Alongside my photographic work, I am deeply committed to sharing my knowledge and passion with others. For many years, I’ve led 1:1 mentoring sessions and group workshops across the UK, helping photographers of all levels connect with nature and develop their own creative voice. My approach blends fieldcraft, storytelling, and a deep respect for wildlife, ensuring every experience is as enriching as it is inspiring.

My Ongoing Journey

Whether standing on remote islands watching the sun rise over a puffin colony or guiding a small group along the dramatic cliffs of the Shetland Isles, my aim has always been the same: to create imagery that makes people pause, connect, and care. Photography is not just about capturing a moment—it’s about inspiring change, fostering appreciation, and leaving a legacy for the natural world.

Our seabirds and their coastal habitats are at risk; Oceans connect us all. They cover two-thirds of our planet and contain most life on earth. They are equally as important to us as they are vast. However they are in crisis..

Our oceans cover over 70% of our planet. Providing more than half the oxygen we breathe and absorbing nearly a third of our carbon emissions. However, the fate of our oceans and their delicate ecosystems are at a tipping point. They are in crisis; the human race is polluting our waters and destroying its habitats. Each year between 8 and 13 million tonnes of plastic enter our oceans, reducing our oceans ability to help fight the climate crisis. A third of our seas are 'protected', but in reality less than 1% of our seas are well managed.

Each day, important species and habitats are being destroyed. It's not too late; together we can turn the tide and restore the health of our oceans

  • “My husband and I spent a fantastic 2 days in the Cairngorms with Kev photographing the mountain hare. His knowledge of both the environment and the hares was second to none, and his expert fieldcraft enabled us to capture some lovely images. Kev is a very selfless photographer, making sure we always had the best photography opportunities. If I was to go again, I would book Kev every time, he is great fun, good company, and extremely knowledgeable, huge thank you Kev”

    Jo Penson - Mountain Hare Workshop

  • “Kevin was a patient and inspiring guide. His passion for wildlife photography and his knowledge was inspiring. He offered fantastic advice and no question was daft. It was an amazing experience seeing and photographing the mountain hares and I highly recommend booking a workshop with Kevin. Thank you again Kevin!”

    Mandy Williams - Mountain Hare Workshop

  • “I recently returned from a two-day mountain hare workshop with Kev. I really had to write this not only to thank Kev for a wonderful couple of days! But to also commend Kev on his superb guidance which without question made it a truly memorable and ENJOYABLE two days, his relaxed, fun, attentive way was superb! as was his knowledge of the hares and their surrounding environment, always on hand to help my photography and advice if needed/wanted! Needless to say, I shall be booking future days with Kev.! Thanks again Kev for a wonderful, enjoyable two-day experience.”

    Richard Jones - Mountain Hare Workshop

  • “I recently returned from 2 days photographing the mountain hares with Kevin, although the weather was challenging with his knowledge and fieldcraft Kevin was able to ensure I came away with photographs and an unforgettable experience. Kevin was there throughout to give help and advice when needed and always put safety first when out on the hills retreating to the lower slopes when the weather conditions deteriorated. Thanks again Kevin for a wonderful, enjoyable two-day experience”

    Ian Anderson - Mountain Hare Workshop

  • “I have tried…and failed for three successive winters to see and photograph mountain hares in snow. This year I succeeded thanks to Kevin who went the extra mile in order to make it happen. I booked with Kevin for a day in February. However, on that day, we were forced to turn back due to snow blizzards and near white-out conditions. Not to be defeated we tried again the next day but the roads were impassable. So, at very short notice, Kevin arranged for us to photograph crested tits (a bonus). On the third day of trying for the hares, thanks to Kevin, I finally achieved my ambition of photographing mountain hares in the snow. Kevin is friendly, kind and went over and above his remit to support me in this. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide. Thank you, Kevin. M xx”

    Miriam Dee - Mountain Hare Workshop

  • “Kev is a real specialist when it became to the hare and their environment. He taught us how to approach the hare without disturbing them. I got some amazing shots thanks to him. He is a great guide, one in a million, he really makes sure you have the best opportunities to photograph the hares even when we had some amazing light one day, he made sure we got the best places. He answers all your questions, it’s never too much. I would not miss the trip for the world and can recommend Kevin as a guide to everyone. Thanks, Kevin, so glad I was part of it! ”

    Bianca Blonk - Simply Hares Tour

  • “I had the great fortune to spend two days with Kevin in the Cairngorms. It was so good to spend time with Kevin. His enthusiasm for his subject came over in spades. He was every bit as excited at seeing the hares as I was and really worked with me to help ensure I got great shots. He got me to the right places to see what I wanted. He then worked with me on my fieldcraft to get close to both the hares. And then when we were in place helped me ensure I got the right shots. He built on my existing skills and knowledge as needed for the subject matter and conditions. It just went so well. Kevin is one of a very small group of seriously talented and passionate young UK wildlife photographers. He is a credit to his profession and absolutely an ambassador for all that is good about photography and photographers. I would absolutely recommend spending time working with him and making the most of his expertise if you get the opportunity. I certainly intend to again.”

    John McCowan - Mountain Hare Workshop

  • “Approaching a new subject is always difficult but I knew to put my faith in Kev was the only way forward when it came to Mountain Hares. Kev’s passion, knowledge and fieldcraft skills meant that we have the most inspiring day. It really was exactly what I had hoped for. Kev’s patience, approachability and enthusiasm made it such an easy and awesome day to top off a fantastic weekend in the Cairngorms.”

    Scott Latham - Mountain Hare Workshop

  • “I had a fantastic week with Kevin in Scotland to photograph the hares. Kevin is very knowledgeable about the hares, he knows how to find them, approach them and find the best standpoint to photograph them. Kevin is also a very nice company during the day and we had a lot of fun. We spent 4 days in the mountains which were good, because of the different weather types”

    Karin Lokers - Simply Hares Tour

  • “I had a great couple of days with Kev. I initially booked a 1-day Mountain Hare workshop but due to the ridiculously wet and windy weather, it turned into 3 days. Kev was super accommodating, trying to get us out to the hill each day and switching plans so we’d have a good chance of finding the Hares. When we managed to get out onto the hill it didn’t take long for Kev to find a Hare and get us in a fantastic position for photography. His knowledge, experience, and great guiding helped me walk away with the shots of Mountain Hares in the snow that I’d wanted”

    Josh Copping - Mountain Hare Workshop

  • “Looking for and finding hares with Kevin on the windy mountains of the Highlands was quite an experience. His trained eye managed to find the hares despite their perfect camouflage and because of apparent familiarity with his actions as a photographer, they let us approach at an appropriate distance. Kevin as an expert on their behavior as well as photo techniques guided the three of us in a really excellent way. His love for nature and for the animals impressed deeply. Strongly Recommended ”

    Paula - Simply Hares Tour

  • “Just like to say a huge thanks to Kev for showing my the ropes up in the Cairngorms photographing Mountain Hare this winter. Not only did he allow me to take some awesome photos, but he also offered to carry up my huge 500mm lens! (I wish I’d taken a photo as he had mine on his front and his on his back). What a dude. Look forward to catching up with you soon for some time in Scotland.”

    Alex Gill - Mountain Hare Workshop

  • “I spent two days with Kevin photographing the Mountain Hares and what a fantastic time it was. Everything was so well organized with lots of great advice prior to the trip. The track to get to the hares is pretty tough going, especially when you’re carrying heavy camera gear, but Kev was so supportive. We chatted, rested, set little targets before resting some more and with constant words of encouragement I made it to the top – and, boy, was it worth it. Kevin is so knowledgeable about the local area and knew exactly where to go to get the best shots his knowledge of the hares, and their behavior pattern is exceptional. It was a joy to chat with him as he shared his knowledge and experiences, whilst we crawled around on the ground photographing the hares!! I think it’s fair to say that Kevin is a pretty laid-back sort of guy, so easy to get along with, and he has a real passion for wildlife. It was an absolutely fantastic two days. The terrain and the weather were both a challenge but it was so rewarding to share some of Kev’s passion for these amazing creatures.”
