About
Hi my name is Mark Blake and I am a wildlife photographer.
I live in Nottingham, (Robin Hood's very own county).
In 2008 I found myself for the first time in many years to have these things called weekends to myself, due to a change in jobs, and now only working 5 days a week not 7.
At first I was like a fish out of water especially when my family would visit their local football team every other week. Left on my own because football was the last thing on my agenda, I started to look for a hobby. Remembering how much I used to enjoy photography from an early age, being encouraged by my uncle (who happened to work for a film processing company), I recalled I had previously done landscape and trick photography.
So this time I wanted a different style. I had as a boy always enjoyed wildlife, even had my own rescued pet Magpie for a short time. So the next obvious thing for me was wildlife photography.
