A startled otter stares at the lens while enjoying a snack. Meanwhile, a green hairy spider camouflages itself against some foliage... and two flamingos kiss.
These incredible pictures, and more, will be on display later this month when 20 of the world’s greatest wildlife photographers gather in London and reveal the secrets of their art.
Hosted by zoologist and conservationist Mark Carwardine and wildlife expert and TV presenter Chris Packham, WildPhotos - the UK’s largest wildlife photography show - takes place at the Royal Geographical Society on October 19 and 20.
The two-day event is packed with inspirational talks and sessions, giving visitors a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most spectacular wildlife images – including winners of the prestigious Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
This year’s keynote speech will be delivered by award-winning National Geographic underwater photojournalist Brian Skerry.
From around the world, international greats such as Tui de Roy (New Zealand), who grew up in the Galapagos; Vincent Munier (France), who was raised in the wild region of the Vosges Mountains; sculptor, photographer and writer, Patricio Robles Gil (Mexico) and photojournalist Christian Ziegler (Germany) will show work and share their experiences.
As well as strong international attendance, this year’s event will showcase the very best of British talent with favourites including Laurie Campbell, Pete Cairns, Mark Hamblin and Charlie Hamilton James.
