Mike Phelps is a UK-based wildlife photographer, filmmaker, and founder of Apex Adventures, where he leads photography tours across the UK and around the world — from the Isle of Mull to Iceland, Norway, Botswana, and Mongolia. His passion lies in capturing authentic moments with wildlife, from eagles and otters to owls and foxes, and sharing the beauty and unpredictability of the natural world.
Wildlife photography has played a significant role in Mike’s own well-being, and he is deeply committed to showing how time in nature can positively impact mental health. Alongside his photography and film work, he co-hosts The Wild X Podcast, where he and his co-hosts discuss wildlife, photography, conservation, and everything in between.
Through his Mike Phelps Wildlife Photography YouTube channel and social platforms, Mike shares the real stories behind the images — the highs, the challenges, and the adventures that come with pursuing wildlife in its natural habitat.
As an f-stop Gear Ambassador, Mike is proud to represent a brand whose gear he relies on daily in the field — built for adventure, built for the wild.
