Episode 13 - Using Flash in Wildlife Photography featuring guest Khurram Khan
In this episode, Rob and Josh are joined by Khurram Khan, a wildlife photographer based in the United States who has gained a reputation for producing outstanding images of wildlife over recent years. One of Khurram’s skills is the subtle use of flash in his photography, and the three discuss its use in the wildlife photography arena, covering the technical basics, ethics, the power it can add to your work, and how to get started with using flash in your photography. Whether you are new to flash and want to better understand the principles of it, or are already experienced in its use, listen in to the discussion and enjoy a chat between three passionate photographers.

Throughout 2023, WildArt POTY will be helping to raise money for the purchase of Eungedup Wetlands, a project brought to our attention, and championed by, WildArt judge Georgina Steytler. Nestled between Denmark and Albany on the south coast of Western Australia, these remarkable wetlands provide a unique opportunity to preserve endangered wildlife. In early 2022, a group of concerned citizens and conservation groups came together to buy farmland featuring a unique wetland, Eungedup Wetlands, containing several breeding endangered Australasian Bitterns. Eungedup Wetlands presents a unique opportunity to overcome many of the threats faced by wetland birds. Water levels in Eungedup can be managed using an existing network of channels to ensure they provide ongoing habitat for its inhabitants, including the endangered Australasian Bittern. If you have enjoyed the podcast, then why not help us to raise funds by donating a small amount to this fundraising effort.
