Over 50 years in the wild
A Lifetime Behind the Lens
For over 50 years, Gordon Yates has captured the wild beauty of Britain and the High Arctic — telling stories of nature through film and photography.
Watch the Films
In 1972, Gordon Yates began making wildlife films and every year since, he has produced a one-hour documentary capturing the natural world as he sees it.
His work explores his beloved local landscapes in the Pennines, the wild beauty of Scotland, and the Isle of Islay — a place especially close to his heart, where he spends an average of nine weeks each year.
Beyond Britain, his camera has travelled to the Seychelles, Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, and Spitzbergen. His passion for the High Arctic remains undimmed — even after a life-and-death encounter with a Polar Bear while camping in 1997.
