Speaker: PAUL GOLDSTEIN Award winning photographer, presenter, author and guide Paul likes nothing better than spending endless hours waiting for that animal to make his or her move. He is not interested in Photoshop or indeed any other form of manipulation preferring to show what he has taken rather than manufactured. He has spent 25 years guiding wildlife safaris and expeditions and owns his own set of safari camps in Kenya.
He is opinionated and outspoken and not everybody's cup of tea but ' if you want to become a wildlife photographer, no-one will drag you up the slope quicker' (S.Times)
