Into the Wild: Photographing Reptiles, Amphibians & Tropical Worlds

Doors Open: 18:30

Talk begins: 19:00

Step into the heat, humidity, and hidden corners of the tropics as Marvin returns with a brand-new talk exploring the art of photographing some of the planet’s most misunderstood and mesmerising creatures.

From rain-soaked jungles to twilight wetlands, Marvin’s work focuses on reptiles and amphibians—subjects that demand patience, precision, and a deep respect for the environments they inhabit. This talk goes beyond the images, diving into how and why these photographs are made, and what it takes to work ethically and creatively in challenging tropical conditions.

Expect a visual journey that blends macro detail with environmental storytelling—from intimate close-ups that reveal texture and character, to wide-angle scenes that place animals within their fragile ecosystems.

• Choosing between macro and wide-angle approaches to tell stronger wildlife stories
• Photographing elusive, sensitive subjects with care and intention
