Award-winning wildlife film-maker Ian McCarthy is supporting Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s My Wild Life campaign which aims to increase awareness of the importance of Cornwall’s environment and change the way people view and value nature.  

Ian has been behind the lens of some of the BBC’s biggest nature programmes, and has worked with David Attenborough in some of the earth’s most remote wildernesses on series such as Life in the Freezer. He has won Baftas and Emmys for his camerawork.

Now he features in front of the lens, in a portrait entitled ‘my focus’, taken by Alastair Sopp at Gribben Head, near Fowey.

This is one of Ian’s favourite places in Cornwall and where he spent long days filming a pair of peregrines as part of his upcoming Cornish wildlife film which displays the wonders of Cornwall’s wildlife and wild places like never before.  

He said: ’Cornwall is where my love of nature really began.’ 

The My Wild Life posters can be seen at bus stops and other locations throughout Cornwall.
