Wildlife Photographer of the Year

I love this annual competition/​exhibition.
It’s so inspiring and such an amazing collection of skill, beauty, landscapes, wildlife. I’m always blown away by it.
This is the 50^th year of the Wildlife Exhibition of the Year. The montage shoeing different photos across the years is lovely to watch.
I’d highly recommend making the time to go. Give yourself a couple of hours so you can read all the stories behind the pictures and stand and look. If possible avoid the weekends, as it’s hard to take everything in if you’re there when it’s packed full of people!
It’s my favorite exhibition every year. Love.

The difficulty with photography exhibitions is that there are a fair few misconceptions about what should be accepted as quality. For me, it’s the ability of a photo to tell a story in a still frame and to entice and excite the viewer into a sense of awe.
Every one of the photographers at this years «Wildlife photographer of the year» managed to make you feel so much with each photo holding it’s own sense of fragility and uniqueness… Fantastic! The surprise hit? The baby emperor penguin looking a bit concerned at the size of someone’s foot…

A bit of grace in our brutal world.
this exhibition rewards the best photographers of the wild life and takes place every year at the natural history museum. an event not to be missed!
the photos are splendid and beautiful and give you the possibility to admire from close some animals you would never see otherwise.
the entrance is not free and it is probably better to book in advance but you can do this through the museum’s website.
this exhibition is something I always advise my friends to go and see.

This annual exhibition is simply one of the most inspiring, fascinating and beautiful exhibitions around. Photos are mounted on lightboxes around the exhibit space as visitors amble from photo to photo, first gazing at the display then studying the informative blurbs accompanying each piece. This process takes patience when it is busy — avoid peak times to maximise enjoyment.
The photos are frequently awe-​inspiring, with vivid colours and stunning scenery displayed across a range of categories that includes Animal Behaviour, Endangered Wildlife and Junior Awards. There is always something to captivate everyone, from kids to cynical adults.
You’re guaranteed a memorable, thought-​provoking and educational experience. Essential viewing.
