Sorry cant help but have a vague memory of him photographing Japanese cranes and also possibly polar bears - may be false memory syndrome tho ...you could go to warehouse express and look at the discussion forum there- Andy often replies to questions there and the man himself may be able to help you

Hi, I found this extract of an interview with him on the net, which is interesting but no sign of a Video or DVD. Plenty of books though.

You presented a 12 part documentary television series on your life and work, simply called Wildlife Photographer. What influence has this TV series, and your success in major competitions, had on your commercial success as a photographer?

Good question. There is no doubt that being on TV helps an awful lot as my name became well known almost overnight. The problem is that in the UK we have a terrible tendency to put people down when they are doing well, especially if they are well-known, so I received quite a backlash from groups of amateur and professional photographers alike. Commercially there is no doubt that it helped establish my name and bring some opportunities that have helped me grow the business into what it is today. I actually enjoyed making the series as I played the role of director, producer and very rough looking presenter; with my cameraman Steve we had some great experiences, saw some great places and drunk a lot of beer. What more could you ask for?

You'll have the Trustees on yer, favouring one pro photographer to the exclusion of others, same as mentioning commercial sites.

I went to one of his shows in Chelmsford last month. He displayed lots of his photos and was funny as well as informative. Look on his web site it might be worth seeing if he will be visiting your area.
