PRO
OLIVER WRIGHT
CAMERA: CANON EOS R5

Based in Garforth, Leeds, Oliver has embraced Canon’s latest mirrorless full-frame cameras, and now shoots fantastic macro imagery of wildlife, plants and flowers with his EOS R5. A climbing accident in 2010 was the catalyst for Oliver realising his passion for photography, and in particular wildlife. Oliver now runs events with Canon and produces technique videos.

APPRENTICE
PETER LAU
CAMERA: CANON EOS R5

Peter has a passion for nature stemming from an active outdoor lifestyle and was a firefighter for 25 years. In 2014, a accident left him paralysed from the chest down. Ever since, he’s been determined to prove that photography is a hobby everyone can enjoy, using a powered wheelchair attachment to access locations. Peter is also a wildlife support officer with the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and works with Accessible Nature UK to improve access to outdoor places.
