About Cherry Kearton

Richard Kearton FZS, FRPS and Cherry Kearton, brothers, were a pair of British naturalists and some of the world's earliest wildlife photographers. They developed innovative methods to photograph animals in the wild and, in 1895, published the first natural history book to be entirely illustrated by wild photographs. Richard was made a Fellow of the Zoological Society of London and Royal Photographic Society. Cherry later became a wildlife and news filmmaker, and friend to Theodore Roosevelt. The Royal Geographical Society created the Cherry Kearton Medal and Award in his honour. David Attenborough credits Kearton's films for inspiring him as a child to "dream of travelling to far-off places to film wild animals."
