MSc, DSc, FBIPP,

"A
phenomenon in both natural science and professional photography,
Heather Angel is an example of all that is best in both
disciplines."
Heather Angel is a British award-winning wildlife
photographer who constantly traverses the globe in search of
pictures. Nine trips to China specifically to take pandas,
paid off with many rare shots in the snow that have become
best-selling pictures and enabled Heather to write three books on
pandas. In addition to managing her own stock library, she is a
prolific writer with 55 books (her latest,
Heather Angel’s Wild Kew)
and countless articles to her name. Always an enthusiastic
communicator, Heather tutors workshops all over the world.
For more than a
quarter of a century, Heather Angel has been at the forefront of
nature photography in
Britain
and her work has been recognised by many awards both in Britain and
overseas. Among them:
an honorary Doctorate of Science from Bath University (1986), a
special professorship from Nottingham University (1994) and the 1998
Louis Schmidt Laureate from the BioCommunications Association of
USA. Heather Angel was President of the Royal Photographic Society
from 1984-86.
Among her many
clients are WWF (UK
and USA), IUCN,
London Zoo, Kew Gardens,
Hasselblad and worldwide publishers of magazines and books. The
British Council in Delhi commissioned
her to document the biodiversity of the
Himalayas – in one month! Major solo exhibitions have
been on show in China
and at the Science and Natural History Museums in London.
Her exhibition,
Natural Visions, which toured Britain from 2000 -2004, was also
on show in Kuala Lumpur, Cairo and Beijing.
