Hear about Chris’ travels to the world’s wildlife hotspots and the beauty he sees in unexpected places. Learn how through his photography he hopes to inspire a love of life – with conservation being at the heart of his work.
TV presenter, naturalist, conservationist, award winning photographer and author Chris Packham’s new show is designed for impact. Challenging conventional ideas about where beauty is found, what good photography and art is and what it is for. Everyone is tempted by glamour, the big, the brash and the beautiful. But Chris champions the underdog and pushes back at familiarity breeding contempt-for him humble everyday creatures are just as alluring.
He likes to 'make something out of other people’s nothing' when it comes to photography and loves the challenge of finding beauty in ugly places. And when he travels to some of the world’s wildlife hotspots he wants to see them in a new way, to put some art into his photos. At the core of all his work is conservation so expect tales from the frontline and the full-frontal truth about how we get it wrong and get it right.
