Inspired by the natural history documentaries he watched insatiably as a child, Richard Peters has always been drawn towards wildlife photography, and his passion has been rewarded with numerous awards both at home and internationally, including the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and the British Wildlife Photography Awards. His images – all taken with Nikon gear – are notable for the quality of their light and composition, his background in graphics honing his eye for strong shapes and colour.
Richard is a regular photography magazine contributor, has written content for wildlife, science and adventure channel Eden TV, runs photographic workshops and is a contributor to the prestigious Remembering Elephants book – hailed as a 'Live Aid' for wildlife photographers, the book aims to raise funds to fight elephant poaching, with top names in the field donating images. Richard is also currently finishing his own ebook, Back Garden Safari, which will be published soon.
