Dani Connor

Wildlife photographer 

Dani Connor is a wildlife photographer and content creator, based in London. Through her video diaries on social media, Connor shares her journeys where she photographs wildlife and connects with nature.

Her career took off in 2020 when her photos and videos of cute baby squirrels blew up on Twitter. Connor has since captured all sorts of wildlife, including in Spain’s Sierra de Andújar Natural Park, where she photographed the endangered Iberian lynx.

Connor has also worked with Canon UK and spoke on its stage at The Photography and Video Show in Birmingham last September.

Wildlife photography is one of the most rewarding experiences it’s possible to have with a camera, and with young photographers like Dani Connor coming to wider attention, the future of the genre is in good hands. Starting out with portraits of the family dog and going on to make a name for herself via content she posted to Twitter, Connor is currently turning her lens on a variety of different mammals in the UK and further afield. Having heard her speak at The Photography & Video Show in Birmingham in September 2022, we were keen to find out more about Connor, her inspirations and how her career has progressed so far.
