JON NICHOLSON

Jon Nicholson has been a

photojournalist for 30 years,

documenting people and

how they interact with their

natural environment. He

recently discovered a new

favourite destination for a

shoot: Ladakh in the Indian

Himalayas. Turn to page 78 to

see his landscape and people

shots. ‘I think the photo with

the young girl walking home

up the valley (taken at around

4,400m above sea level) really

puts the vast countryside and

beauty of the barren hills into

perspective,’ he says.

STEPHANIE CROSS

Stephanie Cross lives in

London but, being from

Norfolk, is a country girl at

heart and loves to spend time

outdoors – even in winter.

Read her piece on the BBC’s

Wi nterwatc h series on page

38, where she tells us about

animals you can see in the

cold season, including grey

seals from her hometown.

On page 57 she also profiles

BBC wildlife filmmakers

Alice Owens and Jo Shinner.

CHARLOTTE

RICHARDSON-

ANDREWS

Charlotte Richardson-

Andrews is a freelance arts

journalist from Kingston-

upon-Thames. Her favourite

place to hang out is Richmond

Park, where she enjoys

listening to the birds sing.

That is one of the things that

inspired her feature about

animals and their response

to music in this issue – turn to

page 114 to read it.

MARK EVELEIGH

Mark Eveleigh grew up in

West Africa and returns to

what he calls ‘the world’s

most exciting continent’

to chase conservation and

travel stories. On page 94 he

takes us to Swaziland where

we meet conservationists

and rangers fighting to

protect rhinos. He comes face

to face with these amazing

creatures and finds out about

the country’s resurrecton as

a Big Five safari destination.
