Ethical Nature Photography: What is it, Why it matters, & What you can do

Increased pressures on our green spaces and increased usage of these spaces in the pandemic have led to increased instances of wildlife disturbances. As a nature photographer and naturalist influenced by nature conservation and the practices of ethical nature photography, Zunaid Khan, will share his journey as a photographer, while addressing what wildlife disturbance is, its impact and what we as photographers can do to minimise our impact on nature while seeking to capture its beauty.

Bio

Zunaid Khan is a Nature photographer and Naturalist based in Toronto, Canada. He is President of Toronto Field Naturalists and Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society, who was born in South Africa and moved to Canada in 1979. He worked in the technology industry for over 20 years before deciding to pursue an interest in photography and nature. Spending a great deal of time hiking in and around the Toronto area, learning about the natural world and studying wildlife behaviour, which is the driving force behind his work, led to a need to become more involved in nature conservation. Educating people about nature, enabling them to understand what we need to protect, conserve and restore has become one of the primary motivations behind his photography.
