Welcome to

JustOutThere

A responsible nature

photography venture,

sharing native wildlife &

supporting conservation.

Hoping to share nature being

incredible, but in-context and

in-reach of anyone who seeks it.

Hoping to inspire a future

where us-humans are better-

connected with nature, for our

benefit and wellbeing as well as

nature’s, through growing

understanding, day-to-day

consideration, and support.

Hi, I’m Morwin

I work full-time, un-paid, for

conservation; to help our nature.

Alongside, I made JustOutThere to

share our great nature that I’m in

awe of; to be a gateway for others.

I’m proud to work for the RSPB on a year-long internship, from Spring 2022, after 1 ½ years volunteering for conservation however I could. ..unpaid still, we all need to feed ourselves, so any funds from photo sales will directly support my frugal conservation lifestyle; & help me share more great nature with you all here! I packed-in my comfortably-paid engineering profession late 2019 to, somehow, figure-out a sustainable nature-focussed life-plan - to live predominantly outdoors & hoping my life might achieve a net positive impact on the natural world that I love, with ever-growing concerns for nature’s future alongside us. Through 2020’s restrictions I immersed myself in exploring and better understanding my surrounding nature in fine detail - for joy and wellbeing, whilst almost neurotically learning out of pure fascination. I grew competence as an amateur naturalist; with photography as my tool to discover and learn, and to share, for others to take value. With 1 ½ years of volunteering for Kent Wildlife Trust alongside, I’m stoked to have now secured a conservation internship with the RSPB based in NE Scotland - my gateway into paid work and fulfilling my original mission for a sustainable future focussed on helping nature, hurray! …though, still unpaid until Spring2023, the process is long and challenging, but I find it brilliantly rewarding and fulfilling! Conservation is worryingly under-funded, but fundamenally necessary and worthy of every effort and support! We all benefit from nature, whether recognised or not. I hope to build recognition, appreciation and pure joy for our fantastic native nature through photography, filming and blogs; and encourange conservation volunteering (because it’s a great, uplifting thing to do!); and support my own voluntary conservation internship, selling photos for food-money!

My Photography

I’m a photographer just to share the world that inspires me, for others to see what I’m able to see.

I love the natural world, whether

huge landscapes or the tiniest of

nature’s goings-on; fuelled by

intrigue I go to great lengths to

reach & enjoy great nature.

……………………………………………………………………. My lenses are old, c.1970s & 80s, some of the best ever made, but fully manual heritage equipment, and hands-on to use!

“I really have to watch nature very

closely to take these photos and

film, by manual photography & 1

photo per shutter-press. The blink

of a tiny wren’s eye is nestled in

my memories as well as a

photograph.”

I whole-heartedly treasure such special interactions with nature, and I hope this shows”

What is JustOutThere?

Supporting nature & people in

nature. Sharing nature that is Just

Out There, in-reach of anyone who

seeks it but so often overlooked;

hoping to inspire and be a

gateway for people’s own

explorations of the natural world.

Supporting conservation directly

through photography and film,

including, so far:

• Photo-monitoring projects to offer greater insight into nature’s unknowns; assisting in conservation of endangered species. I’ve been priviledged to closely monitor and support Kentish Milkwort - some endangered but incredible, tiny native plants, only known to exist on a hanful of sites in Kent. Re-introduced from the brink of disappearance by the Species Recovery Trust and Kent Wildlife Trust. • Conservation charities have full & free access to my photography. I’m happy if nature benefits from me, whether directly through conservation work or offering my skills beyond - nature needs all the help we can offer it! Offering free work quickly outweighs even large monetary contributions, and I’d encourage anyone to offer all they can! • I’m creating short films and blogs to showcase conservation and raise greater support; and to encourage people to volunteer for conservation. It’s just a great and worthy thing to do, and the best way to learn and experience the incredible nature around us! Nature benefits, and us-humans benefit from a nice day out, a good deed, and a future where nature might thrive & celebrate us.
