JOSH MILLS

Photographer, videographer and drone pilot

Josh Mills is a UK based wildlife photographer known online as @trickyshwapix. His work focuses on all creatures great and small but with a preference for open ocean wildlife, particularly large marine life and fast-moving bait ball events, where the energy and unpredictability of the sea create powerful photographic opportunities.

Drawing on his military background, former Royal Marine Josh approaches photography with strong fieldcraft, patience, and a calm mindset in challenging environments. Much of his work takes place in demanding conditions in the wilds of this green earth to working from small boats, in open water, and exploring  along exposed coastlines where preparation and awareness are essential.

His images aim to place the viewer inside the moment, capturing both the intensity and fragility of wildlife encounters in the ocean.

His preference on gear for travel and pretty much constant companion is the f-stop Tilopa 50L DuraDiamond and his drone fits snugly and safe in his DuraDiamond Drone Tech Case. Thinking of the Shinn as a final piece of gear to meet his requirements.

Josh relies on f-stop packs to protect and organise his camera equipment in harsh, fast changing environments, allowing him to focus on documenting compelling wildlife moments in the field with all his essentials safe and secure, comfortable on his back.
