About
Alison

Sixteen years behind the camera. Based in Somerset, photographing native wildlife across the Somerset Levels and further afield.

I’m Alison Fay, a wildlife photographer based in Somerset, England. Over the last 16 years, I’ve built my portfolio by focusing on a diverse range of wildlife, shooting subjects exactly as I find them.

A significant part of my work happens out on the Somerset Levels, studying animal behavior and capturing the changing seasons. I photograph a hugely diverse range of wildlife, from the birds and mammals local to my area to subjects further afield. For me, it’s just about being out there, learning to understand the animals and enjoying my time with nature.
