Owen Newman has been making wildlife documentaries for more than twenty years and won many awards for his cinematography. He also has a keen interest in photography and has captured stills of many of his moving subjects. In recent years, Owen has specialised in documenting the lives of many species that have never been filmed in the wild before including unique ground shots of the breeding colony of lesser flamingos that nest on the inhospitable soda mud of Lake Natron in Tanzania. Owen is also well-known for his intimate and engaging portraits of animals such as aardvark, serval and red kangaroos that are often only glimpsed at a distance in the wild. He and his partner, producer Amanda Barrett, particulary enjoy working in Africa.
