Welcome to The Big Cat People podcast! We're Jonathan and Angela Scott, award-winning wildlife photographers, authors and conservationists. We have made our name documenting the lives of lions, leopards and cheetahs in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

Today's episode is a continuation of our guest interview series, 'In Conversation with The Big Cat People'. In this series, Jonathan and Angie sit down with incredibly talented photographers to discuss the topic of 'Becoming a Photographer'. Today's guest is Shem Compion, an African-born adventurer, nature photographer, author, and innovative photography hide builder.

Co-founder of C4 Photo Safaris, his work, renowned globally, includes contributions to the BBC's Planet Earth series. Pioneering photography hides, such as Africa's first underground hide, Shem offers unique perspectives. An educator and author, he's published seven titles, including "A Landscape of Insects." Shem's boundless exploration recently took him along Ethiopia's Omo River, consistently producing creative photographic work. As a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society in London, Shem Compion remains a dynamic force in wildlife photography.
