90. Sue Flood: Lessons From David Attenborough, Blue Planet, The Perfect Penguin, and a Life of Polar Photography Travel

Wildlife and travel photography with Sue Flood: Lessons From David Attenborough, Blue Planet, The Perfect Penguin, and a Life of Polar Photography Travel. Sue Flood is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker, zoologist, adventure travel leader and public speaker. Her work takes her all over the world but she has a special passion for the wildlife and icy beauty of the Polar regions and is one of the very few women professional photographers who returns again and again to Earth’s harshest and most demanding environments. Her first visit to the Poles happened during her 11 years in the BBC’s prestigious Natural History Unit , working on such global hits as The Blue Planet and Planet Earth , with Sir David Attenborough; on National Geographic and Discovery Channel co-productions and on the Disneynature movie Earth . It had been Sue's dream to work with David Attenborough since childhood and he inspired her to study Zoology at Durham University, so it was literally a dream come true! Since then, Sue’s travels as a photographer have taken her to hundreds of destinations on all seven continents and found her living with reindeer herders in Siberia, swimming with humpback whales in the South Pacific, working aboard Russian ice-breakers; camping in an emperor penguin colony in the Weddell Sea and seeking out spirit bears in British Columbia.
