Presentation: Richard Peters - Back Garden Safari

Richard Peters is best known for a style that often favours dramatic light and has received numerous accolades for his work. He is a Nikon Ambassador alumni, Swarovski Optik and Datacolor partner, as well as author and experienced safari and workshop leader. Richard is also one of the only British photographers to be named the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year and loves to spread his knowledge and experience to others through his talks.

Detailing a year long project to photograph the wildlife in his garden, Back Garden Safari shows how even the most common wildlife found on your doorstep can produce unique images and tell a story. It is the project that became his popular book Wildlife Photography at Home and spawned his most recognisable and successful image, Shadow Walker. But wildlife photography isn’t simply about capturing the animal before you. It’s about capturing the light that falls on the subject. In this presentation, Richard will help you understand light, understand how to react to it and how best to tackle different lighting scenarios. All illustrated with examples featuring his easily recognisable style.
