25 April A presentation by Julian Elliott - Mongolia - From Steppe to Eagle Hunters. A journey from Mongolia's capital to the Altai in the country's far west.
Julian has been a professional landscape and travel photographer for over 10 years. Having started writing for a number of British UK photography magazines he started selling his work through the world renowned Getty Images. To date his work has sold in over 40 countries and he has traveled in nearly 40 countries capturing the world around him.
In his talk Julian took us on a journey through this vast country and we heared how he captured the vast landscapes, the people that inhabit them and their culture. During the presentation we watched how he switched from being a landscape photographer to travel and to sports photographer, finishing with photographs of the Mongolian Eagle Festival.
