A BBC cameraman will talk 'Life Behind the Lens' on a UK tour calling at Northwich.

Doug Allan is one of the world’s most respected and experienced wildlife and natural historFocusy cameramen.

His legendary expertise at both poles have made him a popular and charismatic speaker.

Besides his trademark blue chip wildlife, Doug has also been involved recently in several projects that reflect his deep concerns about climate change and conservation.

During the past year he has been on several expeditions with the US based Living Oceans Foundation (LOF).

Diving in some of the most remote and least visited places in the world he has been filming scientists charting the decline of coral reefs.

In those expeditions Doug has seen for himself the ‘sad terrible beauty of a colourful reef bleached pure white by excessively warm water’.

With more than 25 years experience of the Arctic, he has witnessed first hand the effects of the decreasing sea ice on the populations of polar bears and other sea mammals.

In February 2015 the poorest winter sea ice levels ever were recorded.

This evidence of change in the north reinforces his determination and commitment to raise awareness of this global issue through his filming and speaking engagements.

Doug is well known for both his award winning camera work and his appearances in popular BBC series, such as The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Life, Human Planet and Frozen Planet.

He was a presenter on Ocean Giants and Operation Iceberg, and was profiled on BBC1’s Wildlife Cameramen At Work.

He will speak at The Grange Theatre, in Hartford, on November 21.
