Based in Britain, but travelling worldwide through many countries including Europe, Asia and America, Tony Tilford has accumulated a unique library of colour photographs of animals; many rare, threatened or endangered. Sharing the beauty of these pictures has been possible by publication in books and magazines to which he also contributes as a specialist author.
