Stand out from the crowd
The internet plays host to millions of images, so just how do we give our wildlife photography the advantage? One helpful tool is to read this month’s article by award-winning photographer, Richard Garvey Williams, who looks at The Power of Simplicity.
In a two-part series, wildlife photographer and tour guide, Mark Sisson, delves into the benefits of adding video to your portfolio. Part one looks at how we can use our spare time capturing video, without detracting from shooting our still images.
With the 2019 Wildlife Photographer of the Year (WPY) open for entries next month, Wild Planet talks to writer, editor and Chair of the Jury, Roz Kidman Cox, who tells us all we need to know about the competition and gives some useful advice for those of us who would like to enter our own images.
Ahead of the launch of the long-anticipated fourth book in the celebrated ‘Remembering Wildlife’ series on October 17, we review Remembering Lions and whet your appetite with a taster of just some of the incredible images within its pages.
Celebrating bird photography from around the world, BPOTY announces the 2019 winners and we share some of our favourites from the competition. If that wasn’t awe-inspiring enough, then take a look at our Spotlight On interview with the overall winner, Caron Steele.
Aside from all this, we share some of your entries from our September Photo Challenge - Night Photography and celebrate this month’s Global Awareness Days; International Primate Day and World Rhino Day.
With part two of Mark Sisson’s Understanding Video article coming and our interview with Federico Veronesi, there is plenty to get excited about in next month’s issue. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing even more of your images, so head here to our submissions page.
