“I primarily photograph birds,” says National Geographic Your Shot photographer and computer engineer by day Sunil Gopalan. “I had photographed two other species of puffins (horned and tufted) before in Alaska, and the only one that was remaining on my list was the Atlantic puffin.”

Gopalan says this particular species of puffin can be found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, but he wanted to find a remote location to shoot photos of them—the less people the better. After conducting some research, he settled on the small island of Fair Isle off the coast of Shetland, in northern Scotland.
