About
Hello, I'm Steve, and I'm a wildlife and landscape photographer driven by a lifelong interest in nature and environmental conservation.
My work focuses on responsibly capturing the beauty of nature while highlighting the importance of protecting natural habitats that enable nature to thrive.
Every image is created with authenticity and respect for the natural world. I never use AI to create a 'fake' impression of the natural world. Millions of years of evolution have created beauty wherever we care to look. Aside from minimal post‑processing - such as subtle adjustments to brightness, contrast, colour balance, cropping and the odd spot-removal - my images remain as nature intended. You can be sure that my images represent the real world - no fakery or AI-generated slop; here you will only find honest, real-world imagery.

Steven Cheshire: Graphic Design
With over 25 years of professional experience, I bring creativity and proven expertise to every project. I work closely with organisations across the heritage and environmental sectors, helping landowners, community groups, charities, local authorities, and small businesses communicate their stories with clarity, beauty, and impact.
My work is trusted by leading nature conservation and heritage organisations, including Butterfly Conservation, The Wildlife Trusts, the RSPB, the Heritage Lottery Fund, NGOs, and local authorities. I pride myself on transforming complex messages into engaging, clean visuals that connect with audiences.
I'm currently working on a major update to this website which will finally re-launch sometime between the end of 2026 and early 2027. More information will be posted here soon.
