Rachel Bigsby - Things with wings! Up-and-coming wildlife photographer on making a name for herself

Newton & Coe on Eye for the Light

Rachel Bigsby is a name you’ll hear more of in the future, especially if you’re in to wildlife photography and especially photographing birds. Still only young and not yet fully turned pro, she’s passionate about her photography and is developing an interesting style. We discover more as we talk to her about wildlife and her career.

Rachel has had a passion for wildlife, and especially for birds, since a very young age. Photography has enabled her to capture what she sees and share that passion. She's a good example of how drive is enabling a set-taught photographer to find a career pursuing what she loves most.

In conversation with Newton & Coe, she talks about her evolving career, her ambitions, her photography and the developing style which is leading her towards fine art imagery rather than simply documenting.

It's a tough and competitive world for young and up-and-coming photographers, but already Rachel has done some work for television, including the BBC, and strong and growing social media following is giving visibility to her photography.
