Help us train indigenous wildlife guides in camera skills

Help needed to train indigenous wildlife guides in camera skills

The idea for this project came about through meetings with two extraordinary wildlife guides. One is a Zambian who has been a national park wildlife guide for about 25 years, but has only just invested in a camera. His knowledge of wildlife is unparalleled, but he needs help to get his photography skills up to speed.

The other is from Sabah. He is already an accomplished wildlife photographer, but wants to make the switch to digital.

Many of you may know other indigenous would-be-photographers who could benefit from assistance.

Are there any good photographers out there who would be willing to donate a day or two of their time while travelling? One idea that was mooted was to produce a coffee-table book, with a title something like "Wildlife through the eyes of the experts", which could generate funds to expand the project.

Any ideas or advice would be most gratefully received.
