Janet Southard Wildlife Photographer

Janet has been interested in photography and nature ever since her father gave her a camera when she was just 13. She studied photography at college and worked at an animal rescue centre in Surrey. 

Janet began working with film, medium format and black & white photography but now mostly concentrates on Canon D-SLR equipment for creative content. She is particularly interested in photographs showing animal behaviour and interactions and specialises in macro studio work. Janet has also been responsible for much of the development of Wild Arena’s own animal collection and has cared for dozens of different species for Wild Arena’s studio workshops.

Janet has been involved with Wild Arena since 2006 and has been the official photographer at Knowsley Safari Park since 2012, with her work being extensively utilised in many imaging publications.
