“What a presentation ... fantastic. The best I have seen. I would go and see this again next week.”
“Fantastic passionate speaker, jaw-dropping images & inspirational vision.”

After their highly successful major speaker event featuring the stupendously talented Guy Edwards in February 2018, Towcester Camera Club is offering members and non-members alike the chance to admire images and accompanying narrative presented by the acclaimed Scottish conservationist and photographer Peter Cairns. Save the date. 23rd October 2019 at Towcestrians Rugby Club.

Peter Cairns is a freelance nature and conservation photographer and a founding director of The Wild Media Foundation, the Social Enterprise behind projects such as Tooth & Claw, Highland Tiger and 2020VISION. He was a co-founder and Business Director of the pan-European photography initiative Wild Wonders of Europe and in 2015 he founded SCOTLAND: The Big Picture. As part of a dedicated team, he produces compelling visual media that amplifies the case for a wilder Scotland.

Peter’s own words express very well what he is all about: "I love working in wild places and I love close encounters with wild animals, but photography itself - all the geeky stuff – it leaves me a bit cold. What I’m really passionate about is what photography can do. And what it can do is make you think and make you feel. It's that potential for informing and inspiring people about the role of wild nature in our lives, through visual storytelling, that gets me out of bed in the morning.”

Peter is an experienced and passionate speaker drawing on a lifetime of interest in the natural world and 20 years as a professional nature photographer. He has presented at premier international photography and conservation events and regularly delivers more intimate talks and workshops on subjects as diverse as ecotourism and rewilding.

Peter's primary interest lies in the relationship between people and the natural world and his extensive travels and obsessive curiosity make him ideally placed to offer a fresh and balanced insight into how nature shapes us, and crucially, how we shape it.

His new show, Behind the lens. Beyond the lens, is a dramatic journey spanning two decades of wild adventures and changing personal perspectives, illustrated with stunning images and film footage.

Tickets priced at £8 can be bought from Towcester Camera Club website or from Colemans in Towcester.

Doors open at 7pm for an 8pm start. The bar will be open before the event and during the break, when tea/ coffee will also be available.

The event is sponsored by SRB Photography www.srb-photographic.co.uk, who are offering a 20% discount on merchandise to all ticket holders.
