Pelicans, elephants, seals, and many other wildlife animals may feel out of reach to some, but through photography, Sean Weekly brings them closer to us.
After moving to Singapore, Sean was captivated by its diverse wildlife, sparking his interest in photography. This led him to purchase his first DSLR camera in 2010. After countless hours of studying and practicing, his skills improved, and he developed a unique style.
Fast forward to today, Sean has traveled across the UK and Europe, doing what he loves most—capturing the beauty of wildlife through his lens.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Sean shared more about himself and his achievements.
“I’m a multi-award-winner and full-time photographer. My work is regularly featured across a range of national and international publications.
After a career as a Royal Marine, I moved to the diverse habitats of Singapore where long-tailed macaques, snakes, lizards, and tropical birds were just a stone’s throw away from my home.
Traveling through Southeast Asia and Australia with my camera was what ignited my love of the natural world and now I venture across the globe to expand my wildlife photography. I have led numerous workshops in the UK and further afield in Europe at locations including, Greece, Norway, Zambia, Alaska, and Japan to name a few.”

Sean often focuses a lot of his attention on Pelican, therefore we asked what he loves about photographing them.
He responded: “They are such gorgeous and majestic birds that are so prehistoric looking. Their habitat is surrounded by gorgeous snow-capped mountains making it the perfect location for any wildlife photographer.”

He also shared the most memorable moment that he had photographed these majestic birds.
“The most memorable moment was probably a few weeks ago when I was out on the lake photographing the pelicans and I was greeted by some very heavy snowfall. I have been photographing these birds for many years but never photographed them during a snowstorm.”
