His Macro Wildlife Photography
When it comes down to rainforests in Central and South America, Mark has spent many years photographing the wildlife of the macro world in these parts.

Land of the Giants, Mark Fernley
As Fernley explored further into the harsh environments of Africa, his imagery became more apparent to express Africa’s wildlife in its struggle for survival. His focus was the subject of large mammals surviving in desert environments where his images would express the hardship of their survival. He also would photograph endangered species in Central Africa and India while admiring their struggle in their natural environment.
Untamed Photo Safaris
Along with his freelance work, Fernley has developed Untamed Photo Safaris, a wildlife photography workshop/tour company that brings wildlife photographers of all levels to get the shots they desire while experiencing a trip of a lifetime!
Mark quotes “I began Untamed Photo Safaris in 2014 where my focus was to take wildlife photographers, professional and non-professionals into the rainforest to capture those images they would require. As a keen nature enthusiast, I would also educate my guests with biological information on the species seen on my photo workshops/tours and provide photographic knowledge to help them gain those professional images.” From here Mark expanded the UK company from Peru to an astonishing worldwide operation to help bring those interested in wildlife photography, into the hotspots of the natural world across Africa.
