In late October, acclaimed wildlife photographers from all over the world will take over the Royal Geographical Society in London for the Wildscreen Photography Festival. The photo-festie aims to inspire the public about wildlife through beautiful displays of imagery and storytelling, and will feature presentations from 23 speakers, including award-winning photojournalist and dedicated conservationist Tim Laman.
The gathering directly follows Wildscreen's annual film festival, where our Smithsonian co-produced film Great White Code Red will be up for a 'green Oscar'!
Festival-goers will have the opportunity to attend workshops highlighting new techniques and insights on how to (and equally important, how not to) work with wild and endangered species. If this stunning collection of the guest speakers' work is any indication, festival attendees are in for a serious treat!
