As promised in this year of change for Nature's Best Photography, we are launching new programs that will enhance the way in which we gather and share images. To debut this program, Matthew and William Burrard-Lucas (below, left and right)—both passionate about nature, photography, and travel—volunteered to share their experiences in the field to show us the beautiful as well as the areas of concern. Through their visual journals we will witness and explore destinations many of us may never visit, while others may use these views into the wild as an inspiration and guide to make their own plans for adventure. This past summer, the Burrard-Lucas brothe rs visited Africa and South America.

The process is simple. The benefits are many. The details:
• It is a volunteer role. There are no sponsors for this program as of yet, but if you know of an individual or corporation whom may want to participate we will promote them as well.
• You will be acting as a representative, i.e. Ambassador of Nature’s Best Photography and must possess a passion for photography, be skilled in communication, be knowledgeable about your project, including animal behavior and location risks, be in sufficient health and financially capable to carry out your mission and willing to adapt to adverse conditions as they are presented. NBP will be counting on you to make friends, make great images, and share lots of wonderful stories.
• You must submit an electronic portfolio of images, awards, and your published work for editorial review.
• You do not have to be a professional photographer, just a individual with passion, drive, and a creative perspective.
• You must have plans in place for a project destination with an outline of travel details and project goals.
• We will promote your work through a vast multimedia platform of magazine publication, web features, online galleries, and even help you get placed in other publications.
• We are interested in video content as well.
• We will provide endorsement letters and documents to assist your access to areas and researchers where tourists are usually not permitted.
Before you begin the application process, please contact Steve Freligh to discuss your ideas, your travel plans, your projects and background, and for us to help advise a direction to follow. E-mail: sfreligh@naturesbestphotography.com.
We look forward to speaking with those interested in exploring the world through this exciting new program. We hope it will provide an exciting new view on our natural world.
Ambassador opportunities (as time allows) may also include participation in our Nature's Best Photography Fund as it becomes a new 501(c)(3):
• Contributing ideas for immediate program management solutions.
• Participation in programs, events and future planning.
• Promotion assistance and alliance development.
