Transcript
00:00 My name's Hamzi Hussain, I'm a wildlife cameraman, conservationist and zoologist.
00:05 The exhibition here is phenomenal.
00:09 There's so many incredible images here that tell so many beautiful stories.
00:14 So some hard-hitting ones, some fantastic ones,
00:18 some you'll sit there kind of going, "How did they do that image?"
00:21 But yeah, it's wonderful to be here and to be one of the first people in Scotland
00:25 to actually get the chance to see it. It's an absolute privilege.
00:28 I hope when the visitors come to the exhibition, they see the beauty of the natural world.
00:34 Yes, there's some hard-hitting images here which are deserved of winning in my eyes
00:40 because they're telling the story of what the human race is doing to the natural world,
00:44 but there are some phenomenal positive stories in these images.
00:49 And to see how people are telling their version of the story of Mother Nature is kind of lovely.
