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 a new 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 Brent Stirton, a Senior Photographer at Getty Images in New York, is celebrated for his compelling documentary work.

With an alternative approach to photojournalism, he combines lighting portraiture in the field with prolific work ethic, traveling extensively on commissioned assignments. Collaborating with renowned publications like National Geographic, CNN Traveler, and more, he interprets stories visually. His focus lies in humanitarian issues, including HIV/AIDS, environment, poverty, and women's empowerment. Stirton has received numerous awards, including a Peabody Award in 2012, and holds a journalism degree from South Africa, where he began his career documenting apartheid issues.
