‘Wildlife cameramen don’t come much more special than Doug Allan’
– Sir David Attenborough
Join multi-award winning wildlife cameraman Doug Allan for an evening of behind the scenes stories for all the family, with highlights from the most challenging assignments of his 35 years filming wildlife in the remotest places on Earth. Find out if snow leopards or leopard seals are the most scary; discover how to get close to the biggest fish in the sea and whether your eyeballs freeze at minus 50.
Born in Fife, Doug Allan spent seven years in Antarctica as a Scientist, research diver and photographer for the British Antarctic Survey, beforechanging direction to full time freelance filming in 1983.

This new presentation traces Doug’s personal journey as he discusses how he’s seen pollution and climate change affect the natural world.
