Why I capture Wildlife

Jamal Kabir is a young conservationist and nature photographer from Birmingham who captures incredible images of wildlife at home and abroad. I had been following his work for many years and finally reached out to him to see if he wanted to spend some time together in wild spaces in London. It was a truly incredible experience spending a couple of days wandering London with him in which I learned so much. I think it's important to platform young changemakers like Jamal, as a half Indian I wish I was aware of people like him growing up as I never saw people that looked like me that were interested in nature. Jamal is from a working class family and is such a laid back yet extremely passionate dude who deserves more recognition. I absolutely loved the comparison he makes to collecting Pokemon which I think is exactly the kind of language needed to inspire other young people to pursue experiences in nature with the wonderful wildlife that surrounds us all.

Sound design and music by the incredible Edward Cook. We wanted to create a sound that would appeal to a younger audience and I feel Ed achieved that perfectly.
