Wildscreen and Wildlife Photographer of the Year partner to host WildPhotos – a celebration of the world’s best nature photography.
WildPhotos is a one-day photography symposium, packed with talks from the world’s top wildlife and conservation photographers, taking place at the Bristol Aquarium on Sunday 13th October 2024.
Today we announce the final wave of lightning talk sessions and speakers joining the line-up as:
Two Worlds
These days thanks to technology and client demands most photographers find themselves having to produce film as part of their deliverables. For many this is a frustrating necessity while others embrace it as an inspiring challenge and a critical component of their storytelling. How do you decide when the moment should be a still or film? Can you do it all or do you need a team? Is the future video or photography?
Join photographers and videographers Evgenia Arbugaeva, Peter Ndung’u and Joris van Alphen as they share how they work in both worlds.
This session is sponsored by MPB.
Under Our Feet
It is the little things that make the world go around. The things that buzz, slither or crawl. Or, looking at it through a different lens, the creatures that pollinate, recycle, control pests and aerate the soil. So many of the smaller unsung and often unloved species are the ones that provide ecosystem services critical to the health of wild places and wildlife, including us.
Join photographers Ingo Arndt, Dhritiman Mukherjee and Chien Lee for their lightning sessions as they share their appreciation for diverse environments and the species that keep them operating.
How to Pitch Stories and Fund Photography?
In the increasingly competitive world of editorial photography what are the best ways to submit story proposals to publications, find funding for long-term projects and build new relationships?
Join our panel of experts for tips on how to pitch ideas and secure funding. National Geographic Society Vice President for Storytelling Grants and Programs Rachael Strecher will moderate a discussion around best practices. Sabine Meyer, Photography Director, for Audubon, Richard Edwards, Head of Content, WWF-UK, Britta Jaschinski, freelance photographer, Alexa Keefe, Managing Editor, Photography, for National Geographic magazine and Robin Moore, Vice President, Communications and Marketing for re:wild will share their strategies for successful pitching.
