John Beatty is widely acclaimed as one of the most exciting and stimulating nature, travel and adventure photographers to have emerged in recent years. With over twenty years of assignments to his name, John’s work has taken him from the peaks of all the Greater Ranges to the American Deserts, to the teeming wildlife of East Africa and the wonder of the Galapagos Islands.

John is a captivating and inspiring storyteller and Wild Vision is a chance to hear about his extraordinary life. John's trips have taken him to over 38 different countries and have included seven months spent in Antarctica with the British Antartic Survey, a winter in Spitzbergen where he surveyed 350 kilometres of untracked arctic mountains and glaciers and a four hundred mile unsupported sled traverse of the Greenland Icecap.

As John explains, his work aims to capture “the timeless rhythms of the natural environment, its beauty and simplicity, and man’s place within it”. A fantastic audio-visual presentation which will leave audiences infused with energy and wonder at the beauty of our planet.  Here's what one audience member thought:

“This talk was one of the highlights of my year. Exquisite delivery and fascinating content. John spoke from the heart with no script and the whole presentation was immensely moving and stirred the soul. I happened upon the talk by chance and shall always remain grateful for that. Do not miss this you rarely spend a more fulfilling evening”.
