Meet the Pro: Wildlife Photographer Lance van de Vyver

Host Toby Jermyn welcomes wildlife photographer and photographic guide Lance van de Vyver, probably best known for his incredible picture of a black and white image of a pangolin and a lion. Lance discusses trips to Tanzania and Botswana’s Makgadikgadi and possible travel to India. He shares a career-launching black-and-white image of a pangolin being handled by a lioness, explaining that the brief sighting was followed by the pangolin's death from heat and prolonged stress, prompting discussion about stricter guidelines and the Pangolin Guardians program. He also describes a portrait of a captive-born pangolin pup later released, a flash-at-sunset leopard technique and ethics, a black-and-white giant anteater (“broomstick”) in Brazil, and a stitched telephoto lion portrait. His admired image is Thomas Vijayan’s camera-trap photograph of an Amur leopard. Lance struggles to choose a single ‘humble dwelling’ location, considering several safari regions.
