20th October: The Art of Zoo Photography – Talk by Tal Chohan

Many thanks to Tal for his talk which was peppered with some of his extraordinary photographs taken in zoos around the country and in India.  His philosophy is to make creative/artistic images (in camera) expressing his personality as well as the animals he is photographing. Throughout the talk he gave top tips for achieving the best possible images in difficult situations particularly in zoos – wire fences, glass/reflections etc.

What came through strongly is Tal’s passion for conservation, tigers, ethics and good fieldcraft;  plus his artistic influences such as Van Gogh all of which contribute to his successful work.

So thanks again to Tal for a thoroughly enjoyable and informative evening.
