Hello, I’m Rebecca.
I’m an outdoor writer and photographer specialising in Scottish wildlife.
I create positive, accessible content that bridges the communication gap between experts and the general public, encouraging more people to be inspired by the natural world. My photography centres around bird and mammal portraits.
I also enjoy designing newsletters and magazines. In the past I have created an annual report for SEZARC and each December I publish my own magazine. I’m currently working on another design project that will be revealed in April.
My writing and photography have been featured in publications including BBC Wildlife and Oceanographic magazines. I am the Digital Content Creator for Opticron and I am currently writing a Slow Travel Guide to Northeast Scotland, which will be published by Bradt Travel Guides in 2023.
If you have an idea for a writing, photography or design project, I’d love to hear from you.

Suzy Bashford
Writing Workshop Participant, Moray Walking and Outdoor Festival
“Rebecca’s gentle, encouraging, calm manner put me instantly at ease and I felt no pressure to be a particular way. How she guided us through the forest and exercises was also gentle and nurturing . It was a very soothing experience which helped me see how nature could inspire my writing. The course even inspired an episode on my Big Juicy Creative podcast!“
