Hello,

I've been taking photos since the age of 8 and have loved it from the start. I always dream of becoming a professional wildlife photography not only because of the sheer enjoyment I get out of taking the images but also because it is the one way to draw peoples awarenesses to the different species that our planets plays host too.

At the moment I am studying A2 at Collyers College in Horsham and hope to be moving next year to Falmouth University where I will study Wildlife Photography as a Degree.

I have just won the British Wildlife Photography 12-18 award in 2011 (BWPA) and also a number of other competitions. I have used the money from these awards to buy myself two Canon 50D's, a Canon F5.6 400mm Lens and a 70-200 F2.8 Canon Lens which helps me to capture the Wildlife at its best.

Hope you like my images and let me know what you think

Please feel free to look at more of my best images at www.oliverwilksimages.co.uk and also have a look at my Facebook page for what I've been up too.
