Presenter | Public Speaker
Rachel Bigsby is a self-made wildlife photographer whose genuine, lifelong passion for nature and creative flair have driven her remarkable journey in the field; at the young age of 27, she has already won the 'Natural Artistry' category in Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the Portfolio Award in Bird Photographer of the Year, become a Nikon Creator, and a published photographer for National Geographic.
With no formal training, she has carved her own path, honing her skills and artistic vision through relentless dedication and a keen eye for detail. Her photography is not just about capturing beautiful images but about telling intricate stories. Guided by her extensive knowledge of her carefully selected subjects, she possesses a unique ability to anticipate moments and capture details and behaviours that often go unnoticed. Rachel’s images are infused with these fine details that speak to her heart and expertise, offering viewers a chance to see her subjects in a way that is both scientifically informed and artistically profound.
‘Rachel’s uniquely creative approach to wildlife photography held us captive from the moment we were first introduced to it. Her technical mastery of exposure and focus empower some truly beautiful compositions, the likes of which are rarely seen from someone so early in their career. She also has an innate and powerful ability to convey the obvious passion she has for her work when she speaks. Beyond her articulate, relatable explanation of her creative process, it is her sensitivity and feeling for her subjects that comes through so clearly in her words. She is a joy to listen to, and an inspiration to many'
