Rachel Bigsby is guest lecturer at Rye Nature Reserve, Sussex Wildlife Trust

Award winning Sussex wildlife photographer, Rachel Bigsby, has a gift for reflecting the beauty and artistry of nature in her images. Representing young, female, self-taught photographers, Rachel is best known for her fine art work with seabirds.

Join her for this talk, as she takes you on a photographic journey of her 'wild life' from pole to pole; her expeditions to remote places, her favourite images and the stories behind them. She’ll share how she takes her photographs and her insight into what makes a strong image, followed by a question and answer session.

At the age of 27, Rachel has already won the 'Natural Artistry' category in the Natural History Museum’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year as well as the Portfolio Award in Bird Photographer of the Year. 

Rachel is an RSPB Ambassador, a published photographer for National Geographic, a photography expedition guide and a Nikon Creator. Her work is routinely published by the press and has been showcased in best-selling books. She has featured on TV programmes such as Springwatch and The One Show, and worked on David Attenborough's Wild Isles. See her website.
