Discover the beauty of these astonishing wildlife images by TV legend Chris Packham

Nature TV presenter and wildlife photographer, Chris Packham, is showcasing his exceptional photography skills in a groundbreaking fine art exhibition titled More Beautiful Than You: The Wildlife Photography of Chris Packham. The show, displayed at the Iconic Images Gallery in Chelsea, aims to engage the general public while raising awareness on humanity's relationship with the non-human world.

The free-to-enter exhibition, which opened on October 22nd and will run until November 28th, features a selection of Packham's best work, some of which are available as limited edition signed fine art prints. The showcase positions Packham's photographic practice as a concept-driven body of work, prioritizing formal composition and aesthetic control over documentary conventions.

Carrie Kania, Iconic Images creative director, noted that the exhibition highlights the genuine social and environmental weight of Packham's photography, which stands as exceptional works of art. Packham, who is widely regarded as a national treasure, brought his professional expertise and creative vision to a new context, making the show an exceptional opportunity for Iconic Images.

The exhibition features a diverse range of wildlife captured in various locations, from Africa to the Arctic. The subjects include lions, tigers, buffalo, spiders, owls, horses, elephants, squirrels, foxes, and stunning landscapes. In addition to the artwork, attendees will have access to a free catalogue that showcases an extended selection of Packham's work, along with the stories behind certain images and quotes from the renowned photographer, articulating his unique and highly considered approach to photography.

Packham's career began in photography during the 1980s, and he also worked as a cameraman on wildlife TV productions. He later embraced his passion for photography, stating that when he graduated from university, he had no formal training. Instead, he immersed himself in photography books, took evening classes, and worked on projects for fashion designers. Eventually, he realized that if he wanted to communicate more effectively, he needed to photograph something he had a deep connection with – nature.
