TOBY PICKARD
I am a wildlife photographer and filmmaker based in Bristol having graduated in 2019 with a First Class Honours in BSc Geography from the University of Bristol. After first picking up a camera at the age of 13, I have gone on to have photos published in books and magazines, whilst also being placed highly, even winning, many competitions at the regional, national and global level - with my proudest achievement so far being shortlisted in the Top 10 of the Youth 'Culture' category of the prestigious Sony World Photography Awards 2013 at the age of just 15.
