ABOUT ME

 

Angie Reynolds​

​

Based in Wishaw, Angie Reynolds is a nature and wildlife photographer whose journey began with a mobile phone back when cameras were just an “extra feature.” What started as capturing local scenery soon grew into a deep passion for wildlife, nature and creative storytelling through photography.

​

Angie keeps her wildlife images as true to life as possible but also enjoys creating digital artwork inspired by Scotland, nature and animals — many designs starting as locally taken photos before evolving into digital watercolours and giftware.

​

After studying photography, raising three children and navigating a global pandemic, Angie was encouraged by a friend to finally sell her work. She took the leap with her first market stall — and now runs a website and creative business she’s truly proud of.

​

Angie loves spending full days immersed in nature — walking the Clyde, sitting quietly in the woods watching chicks prepare to fledge, or travelling further afield for rare wildlife moments. She treasures the people she’s met and the shared knowledge along the way.​

​

As a mum to three autistic/ADHD children (one with a rare genetic condition), Angie has learned to say no — especially to work that doesn’t light her up. “I just don’t do people,” she laughs, choosing instead to focus on the photography and artwork she loves most. Quiet hours with her camera in the woods or at her favourite “Perchy Pond” — her version of a spa day.

​

Angie also enjoys being part of the Wishaw YMCA Camera Club, which she says is not your typical camera club. The relaxed,  non-competitive, fun loving atmosphere is what has kept her there. The many projects experimenting with such a variety of different styles of photography, group projects where everyone has some input, and all the fun workshops where even if you just use your phone, you will still manage to take some photos to be proud of. Angie was welcomed into the group as a mentor, but always enjoys the fact that she learns as much from the club as any beginner does. 

​

Angie loves learning from the people she meets along the way, about the history of the local area, about the  local wildlife, just from chatting to people while out with the camera. She really loves hearing about bird behaviour and characteristics etc from the regular visitors to Barons Haugh in particular, and rarely leaves without having learned a little

​

A final word from Angie...

​

I am hugely grateful to everyone who has bought from me at the stall, the website, the shops, and directly through just dropping me a message, it's truly appreciated and it really means a lot to me.

​

 I am so flattered that people want my photos on their walls at home/office/work, and I just love getting the chance to see the final printed copies too, there's something special about seeing the images in print for me, and every order gives me the opportunity to see each photo as it was meant to be,

​

Thank you x
