ABOUTFor Keith Wilson, creative collaboration and dialogue with the great names of documentary and nature photography are his quest. He is renowned for his interviews for British and European magazines with modern masters such as Jim Brandenburg, Steve McCurry, Sebastiao Salgado, Tim Page, Alex Webb, Stephen Shore, Lynsey Addario, Brent Stirton, Jillian Edelstein, Frans Lanting, Brian Griffin, and the incomparable Britta Jaschinski.
He is the co-founder (with Britta Jaschinski) of PHOTOGRAPHERS AGAINST WILDLIFE CRIME™, an international group of award-winning photographers who have joined forces to use their powerful and iconic images to help bring an end to the illegal wildlife trade. Their efforts culminated in the publication of a truly unique book in May 2018, which sold out within a year. A new bilingual (Chinese and English) edition was released in October 2019, which is distributed worldwide and especially in China and Southeast Asia, the largest markets for the illegal trade in wildlife products. You can order this new, unique and powerful book here. Keith also edits fine art nature photography books, working with some of Europe’s leading landscape and wildlife photographers. Titles include: Zero Footprint (Leeming+Paterson), Silver (Jonathan Chritchley) and As Long As There Are Animals (David Lloyd). He is also the editor of the best-seller Remembering Elephants and its successor Remembering Rhinos, both published for Born Free. A former award-winning editor of Amateur Photographer magazine, Keith is the founder of Outdoor Photography, which he edited from 2000 to 2007, Black + White Photography and Wild Planet, the world’s first monthly digital magazine devoted entirely to wildlife photography. He is a highly regarded competition judge and since 2016 has chaired the jury of the Nature Photographer of the Year awards. Keith is a sought-after speaker at international nature photography festivals, universities and workshops, and is based in London, UK. Photo: © Martin Hartley |
BOOK PUBLISHING
In recent years I have been entrusted by Charlie Waite, Jonathan Chritchley, David Lloyd and Leeming + Paterson, with the vital task of editing their fine art photography books, working with them from concept to print, turning dream to reality. And then there was the extraordinary challenge of Remembering Elephants, working with the project founder Margot Raggett to create a beautiful visual narrative of the life cycle of Africa's giants, using photographs donated by 65 different wildlife photographers. The book sold out in just three months, raising vital funds to help protect African elephants from ivory poaching. This was followed by Remembering Rhinos, a beautiful coffee table book with all proceeds going to protect wild rhinos in Africa and Asia.
