ZOOM MEETING
Norwich and District Photographic Society are excited to host this Special Presentation by David Boag who has over 35 years personal experience as a full time professional wildlife photographer. David’s photo-talks are renowned for being enthusiastic, entertaining and encouraging and are always lavishly illustrated with as many images as he can fit in that have been selected to illustrate the points rather than simply to impress.
This should be a great evening as David is widely renowned for his ability to enthuse an audience with his amusing and exciting style of presentation, whilst also imparting lots of information. The quality of photographs ensures that no one leaves disappointed.
The photo-talk spans 35 years of photography and takes us to 5 continents. The questions David is asked most often is about his own ‘favourites’ - what are the pictures you are most pleased with – what is the best place you have visited – which subjects do you most enjoy photographing…?
These are impossible questions to answer because one’s opinion constantly changes. How can you possibly compare the Queensland tropical rain forest with the desert of Utah; or compare the delicate but vibrant sunbirds with the power and majesty of a bald eagle…? It may be impossible but, in this photo-talk David is going to try! Working his way through his commissions over a span of 30 years, he will also bring us right up to date with his latest and most exciting project.
Non-members of the Society are able to attend this presentation by purchasing a Guest ticket which are available only through our booking agent Eventbrite UK using the link below.
David Boag
About David
I am a wildlife photographer and the author/photographer of 18 published books. My first book ‘The Kingfisher’ was published in 1982 and contained a wealth of unique photographs illustrating the life of this remarkable bird.
Encouraged by my publishers and driven by my enthusiasm, my next book was about another spectacular bird, The Atlantic Puffin’ that was published a couple of years later.
For several consecutive years my work became the subject of the television programme ‘Out of Town’ and I have since been involved with both television and radio, either in an advisory capacity or as a knowledgeable guest or presenter.
I lecture regularly throughout the country to a wide variety of natural history, photographic and general interest audiences. On numerous occasions I have spoken at major conferences for organisations such as the National Trust, the RSPB, British Trust for Ornithology and the Royal Photographic Society
Here are some further examples of David’s work that are being shown here with his permission.
