Black headed gulls (in winter plumage) and a juvenile lesser black backed gull flying in some gorgeous light in Bristol’s famous Avon gorge… Gulls and other birds use this gorge as a highway to navigate.The play of light effect you see here is thanks to the gorge’s shape and position - at sunset, sun rays don’t hit the background trees but they still catch most flying birds. Bristol, UK.

Louis Guillot is a wildlife photojournalist, zoologist, and children’s forest educator. For as long as he can remember, he has been drawn to wildlife from the streets of urban London, where he grew up, to the depths of the Amazon rainforest, where he most recently spent eight months living and documenting biodiversity and conservation projects.

Louis joined the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) in September 2025. His work has been featured in outlets such as Forbes and BBC Wildlife Magazine, and he has received recognition in competitions including Nature Photographer of the Year and MontPhoto.

When asked about his favourite species or groups, he can never choose just one:
“I get obsessed with certain subjects, stick with them for a while, then move on to something else only to realize I’m coming back to my original obsessions, going in circles… I love doing this.”
His belief in connecting children to nature through education has led him to work with forest nurseries, as he views children as the future of conservation. 
 
Louis’s mission is to continue capturing wildlife and using his visual storytelling to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to appreciate and protect nature. He believes that when we help nature, nature reciprocates, and we all benefit.
