Symposium: WildPhotos 2008

WildPhotos 2008, the UK's largest nature photography symposium will be held on 31st October and 1st November at the Royal Geographical Society in London.

Harriet Nimmo, Chief Executive of Wildscreen said, “There is nothing quite like this in the UK. It really is a gathering of the top wildlife photographers in the world — a unique opportunity to meet them, hear them and see their latest work. Testimony to the quality of the event is that such high-profile speakers are willing to join us for this international event.”

Held at the Royal Geographical Society in London on Fri 31st October and Sat 1st November, WildPhotos is aimed at anyone with a passion for wildlife and high-quality imagery, whether amateur or professional photographers, working in the photography or publishing industries, or wanting to make more use of the power of nature photography to move and inspire people.
