Overview
We are excited to announce the next in our series of C4 Atelier webinars. For this talk, we look to the future generation of wildlife and nature photographers. Historically, there is a large portion of the population who have largely been excluded from entering this field. Our three speakers are all dedicated to helping change this status quo while also mentoring this new generation of photographers to use their skills to make a difference to the natural world and bring awareness to conservation.
Suzi Eszterhas is an award-winning wildlife photographer best known for her work documenting new-born animals and family life in the wild. She has been published in over 100 magazine cover and feature stories. For Suzi, becoming a recognized wildlife photographer in a male-dominated field had its challenges, recognizing these challenges, Suzi founded the Girls who Click programme with the vision of empowering teen girls to enter the male-dominated field of nature photography and use their work to further conservation efforts around the world.
Mike Kendrick, an experienced leader in education and over 25 years specializing in teaching students from disadvantaged communities, is the founder of the Wildshots Outreach programme - which aims to engage young people from disadvantaged communities in wildlife and wild places through photography.
Our third panelist is a graduate from the Wildshots outreach programme, Rifumo Mathebule, who has first-hand experience of the difficulties young people wanting to enter this field are facing, but also the benefit of mentorship programmes helping you along the way. Today Rifumo is Conservation South Africa's Media Team leader and he also heads up the Wild Shots Outreach programmes
Hosted by Janet Kleyn, the resident photographer at Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana. Janet has traveled extensively throughout the world and particularly Southern Africa.

Janet Kleyn
Janet Kleyn manages the C4 photographic concession at Mashatu Game Reserve in the Northern Tuli block of Botswana. In this role Janet shares her expert advice, tuition and tips to help her clients take their photography to the next level. Before taking on her role at Mashatu Janet was one of only a handful of women conducting backpack walking trails in the Kruger National Park. For Janet “it’s about the experience of being in nature, as much as getting the photograph – and if you loving the experience you’re bound to reflect that in your photography”.Janet Kleyn
