Born In Trinidad, then raised and schooled in London, England, Roger Neckles is one of the Caribbean's leading wildlife photographers and naturalists.
His award-winning images have graced the pages of numerous international natural history books and magazines, including National Geographic, Natural History, Audubon, Wild Bird, Birding, Birdwatcher Digest, and Caribbean Beat. Roger has played an invaluable role as a conservation educator about Trinidad and Tobago's unique fauna and flora. For over 17 years, he has taken his passion for wildlife to schools on both islands.
"It is the area of my career that brings me the most satisfaction" he says. He currently spends much of his time filming the native fauna and flora for film documentaries, filming threatened or endangered species and habitats through the region. He also occasionally finds himself on the other side of the camera, as in productions for the BBC and National Geographic.
Roger considers one of many pinnacles in his career to be his association with two authoritative books:
"Birds of Trinidad and Tobago Second Edition, co-authored with Richard ffrench and released in May 2004, and his solo book "An Introduction to the Birds of Trinidad and Tobago Vol.-1" soon to be released.
Another highlight was a commission in 2001 by Trinidad and Tobago Postal Corporation (TTPost) to create 10 stamps featuring rare or threatened native species, followed by an additional 18 stamps, many still available at TTPost outlets, or through: avifauna@trinidad.net
I see the world through the eyes of an artist, absorbing colour, texture, form, light, movement and composition! I try to immortalize mere fractions of time, as authentically as I recall them and as well as my skills permit, the truth as it was revealed to me, as I saw it, as I have discovered it to be ...... in my photography, ... for You!
Immerse your heart and soul in nature, come back home from whence you came, let peace be your doctor, let scent be your medicine, let sounds be your guide, let taste be your reward. Let the scenery be your awakening to a new life, in a new world, where discipline and order act out an age-old play entitled ....... "Natures Way"!
