I met up with wonderful wildlife photographer Rob Fleming, better know as @robswildlondon on his stunning Instagram account (check it out!). Rob kindly and bravely agreed to chat about his mental health journey and how picking up a camera and rediscovering nature and wildlife that he enjoyed as a child has helped him switch off, be mindful and ultimately heal.
Male mental health is rarely discussed so openly, and as someone with a similar experience of using my camera and nature as therapy during a period of depression in my life, I found Rob's candid discussion really inspiring.
We get a teeny bit technical about wildlife photography and the species we find along our walk, but mostly we enjoyed sharing our stories and bringing an online friendship into real life for the first time.
