With just over a week to go to Amateur Photographer’s first-ever Festival of Outdoor Photography, we are profiling some of our key speakers from the four genres represented at the festival: wildlife, landscape, street and travel.
All the speakers have been hand-picked for their amazing work and excellent presentation skills, but for anyone interested in wildlife photography, Tim Flach is an absolute must-see.
Rather than images of creatures out in the wild, Tim specialises in powerful, beautifully executed animal and bird portraits, usually taken in a studio. Tim’s love for magnificent, beautiful, and sometimes downright odd creatures really shines through in his photography, and he also takes a very considered approach to his work, carefully researching the species.
Tim is also passionate about drawing attention to the beauty of endangered species and the need to protect them. He is fascinated by the similarities between animals, birds and humans, which he brings out in his portraiture without the results ever looking contrived or anthropomorphic.
