Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of attending the Sony World Photography Awards (SWPA) 2026. During the evening ceremony where this year's victors were announced, I met Will Burrard-Lucas, an award-winning wildlife photographer whose work I was already familiar with.
Burrard-Lucas took home another award that night, the SWPA 2026 wildlife and nature category, with a series of photos of a rhino, giraffe, elephants and more in Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve, captured with remotely-triggered Canon DSLRs. He filled in the blanks for me on how he created these photos — and you can read that interview in full.
