This week, we’re joined by multi-award-winning wildlife photographer and mentor Kev Morgans.

We talk about why spending more time with one subject can lead to stronger, more creative photography, how long-term projects help us move beyond individual images, and why the best wildlife photographs should make people feel something.

Kev also shares stories from his work with puffins and mountain hares, while Weird World explores the stranger side of puffin life and Snapshot Shenanigans delivers a brilliantly awkward encounter involving a camouflaged photographer and a tree hugger.

Our Topic of the Week asks:
Do we spend long enough with our subjects?

There are some trips that give you photographs...

...and then there are the ones that give you stories you'll never forget.

This week on the Wild X Podcast Mike and Adam (whilst being interviewed by Andy) relive an unforgettable Botswana adventure.
