Wildscreen Photography Festival 2014

Wildscreen Photography Festival, formerly WildPhotos, is the world’s leading photography event, offering exclusive insight into how our greatest photographers capture the most inspiring images of the natural world.

The annual three-day event will feature workshops designed to offer practical advice to budding photographers and inspirational talks from the best wildlife and conservation photographers from around the world.

This year’s keynote talk will be presented by award-winning photojournalist and dedicated conservationist Tim Laman, who has developed a reputation for capturing near impossible shots of some of the most critically endangered birds in the world.

His talk, View from the Canopy – Revelations and Realities, will focus on rare and endangered species found in the world’s wildest places, from rainforest canopies to underwater kelp forests.
