About Big Cat & Nature Photography
Big Cat & Nature Photography is the freelance business of wildlife photographer, Barbara Meyer. Barbara started her professional photography career more than 12 years ago and is dedicating a large part of her work to raise awareness and funds for endangered big cat species and also for British wildlife.
Besides selling her images as mounted photoprints via her Stall at zoos and wildlife parks to raise funds for tiger and Amur leopard conservation (also via this web page), Barbara provides Talks about Big Cats, her own trail camera work in the wider Sherwood Forest area, different wildlife conservation approaches and other wildlife related topics. Furthermore, she has produced and published photo/text articles in regional magazines to share information about the situations for big cats, conservation work and in particular for the wildlife around us.
Under Big Cat & Nature Photography Barbara shares her photography knowledge with customers at some great venues across East England and the East Midlands. Although the Photography Experiences used to focus mainly on Big Cats to begin with, our customers have now the choice between wild cats, birds of prey and many other wildlife species, including native wildlife in its natural habitat. Through a careful selection of venues (some of these are exclusive to Big Cat & Nature Photography), participants on our photography workshops and photo days can aim their cameras at more than just one species, even if the events are advertised for example as Big Cat Photography or Deer Rut Photography workshops (this is just indicating the main focus of the event).
The benefits of choosing Big Cat & Nature Photography to enhance your photography skills or just to join a special photography experience like taking photos of big cats, birds of prey, deer rutting or young grey seal pups, are

- Our Photography workshops and photo days are open to all experience levels, and through the option of an individual online tuition session for each participants prior to the photography experiences, we ensure that each customer will have access to the support they need.
- Groups on our photography workshops and photo days are generally limited to 3 participants.
- Your tutor and guide is an experienced wildlife photographer, who will be available throughout the events, supporting participants with their photography, providing information about the animals that can help to get better images and spotting photo opportunities for our customers.
- As Barbara’s work is generally wildlife conservation orientated, the Big Cat & Nature Photography events contribute either to the conservation work, supported or respectively done by the venue or alternatively to another conservation charity, related to the main species at the venue.
- The Big Cat & Nature Photography experiences are tailored to avoid negative impact on the wildlife or their habitat. In order to achieve this, we liaise closely with the conservation charities, responsible for natural habitat areas, to which we take our customers; and we do follow their advice and requests in view of what to do and what not to do.
