Wildscreen Launches New Industry Summit to Shape the Future of Wildlife Storytelling
Wildscreen has announced the launch of its inaugural edition of the Wildscreen Industry Summit, a new 3-day event designed to help the industry navigate the evolving landscape of natural world storytelling.
WildPhotos is back…and this time in London!
WildPhotos, the one-day nature photography symposium, created in partnership by Wildscreen and Wildlife Photographer of Year at the Natural History Museum, London, returns this October. The 2025 edition will take place at the British Library, London, UK, on Friday 17th October. The one-day event will feature a world-class line-up of 14 award-winning nature photographers, sharing the stories, craft and impact behind some of the most recent iconic wildlife photography.
Two of the most influential voices in visual storytelling are announced as headliners:
- David Doubilet, legendary photojournalist for National Geographic, known for his pioneering underwater photography that captures both the splendour and threats facing our oceans. With over 26,000 hours spent beneath the waves, Doubilet’s work has redefined how we see and understand life below the surface.
- Karine Aigner, award-winning visual journalist whose powerful imagery explores the complex relationships between wildlife and human communities. Her storytelling centres empathy and connection, challenging audiences to see conservation through a more human lens. In 2022, Karine won the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Grand Title, only the fifth women in over 40 years to receive the accolade.
As well as the two headliners, the programme will feature a packed programme of lightning talks, with the full speaker roster announced in June. Kathy Moran, current Jury Chair for Wildlife Photographer of the Year and formerly National Geographic Magazine’s Deputy Director of Photography, is executive producer of the event.
WildPhotos 2025 is kindly supported by Focused on Nature whose mission is to assist in the protection and conservation of threatened and endangered wildlife and wild places. Focused on Nature believes photography is integral to this mission.
Prince Hussain Aga Khan, said: “In my photographs I let animals and trees speak for themselves in the hope that others see what I see. Photography has the power to reveal and connect us to nature. Photographs give voice to dolphins, turtles, elephants, to all creatures. They are no longer invisible.”
Lucie Muir, CEO of Wildscreen, commented: “Wildscreen’s partnership with Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Focused on Nature embodies our shared belief in the power of photography and storytelling to raise awareness about the beauty and fragility of the natural world. WildPhotos is a unique gathering of the conservation photography community, and an unrivalled opportunity to hear the stories behind the images and the impact beyond them.”
Hannah McCartney, Interim Head of Wildlife Photographer of the Year at the Natural History Museum, London, added: “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Wildscreen through what is set to be another fascinating day of insight into the world of nature photography. WildPhotos is a platform for photographers to connect, share and advocate for the natural world – and to push the boundaries of their craft.”
WildPhotos 2025 will take place a few days following the announcement of the 61st Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition winners on Tuesday 14 October at 11.30pm BST, and the opening of the flagship exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London on Friday 17 October.
Tickets are on sale here with 50 limited-edition passes including a free ticket to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition at the Natural History Museum. This hybrid event offers both in-person and virtual options, ensuring access to a global audience.
