On Tuesday night (7th January) at our meeting in the Methodist Hall Norwich & District Photographic Society hosted the award-winning Wildlife and Nature Photographer Tesni Ward who delivered an inspiring highly illustrated photographic talk titled ‘Photography in the Peak District’.

Tesni explained that towards the end of 2014 she was dedicating more time and energy into photography and this steadily evolved until March of 2016 when she decided to take the step to becoming a full time photographer. Working as a wildlife photographer she said is challenging but extremely rewarding and that she aspires to use her images and stories to promote conservation and to educate the public on the struggles wildlife faces and what we can do as individuals to help protect the many species currently under threat from human activity.

It quickly, became apparent why Tesni is becoming so successful.  Her images are full of character and emotion, and it is clear that she has a down-to-earth sympathetic approach to her work – if only more of us could emulate some of that magic...!

More importantly Tesni knows her wildlife, where to find it, and most of all how to use a camera to capture it.
