Heather Angel 4th August 2009

Photographing the natural world

Heather Angel has spent the last thirty years photographing some of nature’s most spectacular sights. Be it storks hunting locusts in burning bushes, or a polar bear breaking wind, her photographs capture the unusual and unexpected. She has been described as ‘the doyenne of wildlife photography’, and has photographed the Prince of Wales in his wild flower meadow at Highgrove. But her latest project brings her home as she explores the wildlife on offer at Kew. She spent a year creating ‘Wild Kew’, a book of photographs that challenge the perception that Kew is just about plants. She joins Jenni to talk about her exhaustive career

'Wild Kew' by Heather Angel is published by Royal Botanic Gardens, ISBN: 978-1-84246-402-1
