The Wildlife Photographer Who Shoots in England’s Urban Jungle
Want to be a wildlife photographer but find it hard to get out of the city? Try shooting urban wildlife. Here’s an inspiring 13-minute Nat Geo Live! talk in which photographer Bertie Gregory shares stories about his adventures in capturing wild animals on camera in England’s urban jungles.
“Just like I would with a wilder place, I’ve built up a map of all the different places I could find and photograph wildlife,” Gregory says. “There’s just wildlife absolutely everywhere. It was really, really cool.”
“Most of us will never see a polar bear, will never see a lion,” he concludes. “Modern day society is so disconnected from nature. Urban wildlife provides a bit of a bridge to that gap. Please, get out and see what wildlife you can find.”
