Natural History Photography Workshop

For many decades, David McMahon has been a skilled documentary photographer, dedicating his craft to stories that make a difference. He began his career capturing the gritty reality of life in poverty-stricken areas of London's East End. Later, he explored the entertainment industry, focusing on long-term narratives.
David then ventured into the world of football, documenting the passionate fans and their sometimes unrequited love for their clubs. However, nearly 25 years ago, he changed direction to prioritize family life and share his expertise with others. David helped establish a new MSc in Biological Photography and Imaging at the University of Nottingham's School of Life Sciences.
Although natural history and environmental issues had always piqued David's interest, over time, his focus shifted to increasingly pressing concerns. Water security was not something David initially considered, much like most people. However, a conversation with Simon Gosling, a Professor of Climate Risk & Environmental Modeling at the University of Nottingham, sparked a newfound interest in this vital subject.
