Doug Allan is a Canon pro and award-winning wildlife photographer and film-maker who regularly shoots breathtaking footage for BBC nature programmes with David Attenborough, including The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, and Frozen Planet. One of the headline speakers at The Photography Show Virtual Festival in September, we caught up with Doug to talk about how he got started as a photographer and film-maker, the transition from stills to film, the Canon equipment he selects for assignments, and how he overcomes the extreme conditions he faces while in the coldest and most challenging places on earth.
How did you make the move from being a diver to a wildlife photographer?
