Welcome to Judith Scott Photography

My adventures across the world with wildlife

Who I am

My name is Judith Scott and I am an international whale watching guide! I have wanted to work with whales since I saw one on TV when I was around seven. Currently I work in Iceland, South Africa and Mexico with a variety of different species. I trained as a marine guide with a naturalist who had studied whale watching education as her masters, so was an incredible teacher. I also worked for two and a half years on a Dr Roger Payne’s research boat Odyssey, sailing around the world studying sperm whales. Dr Payne was the scientist who discovered humpback whale song. Through this I fell in love with travelling, photography and nature, as well as even more in love with whales! I have since travelled in all the world’s continents and sailed on the Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Pacific Oceans following my dreams. I hope that you enjoy seeing some of my photographs and learning about what is out there in the amazing natural world.

About me

My photography

After studying art at university I now find my art in my photography.
I feel very privileged to have been all around the world visiting places unknown to many, and to have experienced what I have captured in my photographs, all through my love of whales. I have also seen a lot of destruction that is happening in the natural world due to human actions. From turtles we found sailing that were entangled in fishing gear to albatrosses full of plastic. I hope my images may do just a little to inspire people to help save the natural world; goodness, it needs all the help it can get right now. It can feel over-whelming in the face of such destruction to try and make a difference, but if you can just pick a species or a habitat you care about, we can all make a small difference. We need the natural world, not just to take nice pictures, but for all our health and well-being.
