“My presence should have no great influence on their behaviour for in doing so the image will no longer be what I strive for; natural.”
William Fortescue is a wildlife photographer and safari guide whose instantly recognisable black and white images have earned him over 30 international awards and a place among the most compelling voices in contemporary nature photography. Driven by a simple but unwavering philosophy — wildlife first, always — his work seeks to capture his subjects entirely on their own terms, free from human interference. Beyond the lens, William has used his platform to raise over £150,000 for conservation and charitable causes, cementing a practice that is as purposeful as it is visually stunning.
