As seen on page 86, the eighth book in the Remembering Wildlife series will be published on 9 October. Remembering Leopards will feature stunning images donated by many of the world’s leading wildlife photographers, including Marsel van Oosten, Art Wolfe, Greg du Toit and many more.
Between them, the Remembering Wildlife books have raised more than £1 million/US$1.2 million for 60 conservation projects across 25 countries, and founder Margot Raggett is hoping for another successful round of fundraising to support conservation efforts for the nine species of leopard.
To mark the launch of Remembering Leopards, we caught up with two of its contributors, wildlife photographers Tristan Dicks and Will Burrard-Lucas, to find out why leopards are so close to their hearts – and for any wildlife photographers keen to hear some expert tips and insights, how to successfully photograph leopards…
Why do you think wildlife photographers love photographing leopards in particular?
Tristan: I think it’s a combination of things. Leopards generally occur in exotic locations that many people dream about visiting – such as Africa, India and Sri Lanka – and this adds a sense of adventure. And the shyness of the animal and the elusive nature of this iconic big cat, combined with its incredible beauty, makes it something that everybody wants to have in their photography portfolio.
