Niall Benvie

Scottish wildlife photographer, Niall Benvie, sits down with FotoTV to discuss his career as a wildlife photographer and nature conservationist. His close involvement with 2020Vision.org, "For a Wilder Britain" is testimony to his dedication to increase public awareness and teach the vital steps to restore and recreate the natural habitats of Britain. Through his photos, combined with words to give context to his pictures, Benvie creates images of immediacy that reflect on the loss and conservancy of natural elements, wild animals and human cultural activities, due to climate change and human encroachment.

Being a second-generation naturalist, Benvie followed in the footsteps of his father to become a farmer. It was this intimate relationship with nature that led him to become a full time wildlife photographer. Leading the call for action to preserve nature's most vital resources and free habitats, Benvie's photographs surpass just being for entertainment purposes, his images intend to educate on the important connection between the three primary life forces that exist on this planet; nature, animals and human kind.
