TCF Ep. 559 - Will Burrard-Lucas

Published: May 4, 2021, 11 a.m.

b'Will Burrard-Lucas is a wildlife photographer from the UK. Whenever possible, Will prefers to get close to his wild subjects and use a wide-angle lens to capture a more intimate perspective. Initially, he achieved this by crawling up to unthreatening species. However, he also dreamt of doing this with iconic African animals such as lions and elephants. To achieve this he created a remote-control camera buggy in 2009, which he called \\u201cBeetleCam\\u201d. The buggy soon proved itself and to this day Will continues to use it to capture fresh perspectives in his work.\\xa0 Will has also developed sensors to detect animals and automatically trigger his cameras. Deploying these \\u201ccamera traps\\u201d for weeks or months at a time has allowed him to capture rare photographs of secretive and nocturnal wildlife. Will founded Camtraptions Ltd to turn his creations for camera trap photography into products for photographers and filmmakers around the world.\\xa0 In 2017, Will embarked on a new project titled \\u201cLand of Giants\\u201d. The aim of this project was to document the last of Africa\\u2019s iconic elephants with tusks reaching down to the ground. In 2019, \\u201cLand of Giants\\u201d was released as a book in support of the Tsavo Trust. His latest book is The Black Leopard.\\xa0 \\xa0 Websites Will Burrard-Lucas Steve Winter \\xa0 Sponsor Charcoal Book Club \\xa0 Education Resources: Using Your Life to Launch Your Photography \\xa0 Momenta Photographic Workshops \\xa0 Candid Frame Resources Download the free Candid Frame app for your favorite smart device.
