An Unforgettable Evening with Des Ong

Join us for a truly special night with Des Ong, one of the UK’s most celebrated professional wildlife photographers.

Born in the tropics and now based in Britain, Des has turned his lifelong passion for nature and art into an extraordinary career. His breathtaking images have won top honours at the British Wildlife Photography Awards and Wildlife Photographer of the Year, and grace galleries and publications worldwide.

Beyond the lens, Des is a passionate advocate for primate conservation — every talk helps fund vital projects to protect these incredible animals.

From snow-swept British highlands to the steaming rainforests he once called home, Des’s photography reveals the raw beauty and wonder of our planet’s wildlife.
