Celebrity Wild Trials

Become a wildlife photographer for a week. That’s the challenge facing five celebrities who must travel to some of the remotest corners of their country to track down and photograph wild and elusive native animals.

It’s a competition amongst peers, as the best photograph (and celebrity photographer) is picked for a very special mission.

Exposed to the elements and away from their glamorous lifestyle, the viewer sees a different side to their favourite star. With a stunning wildlife backdrop from bison, bears and bats, this series aims to feature a nation’s wildlife and wilderness in a new and compelling way.

The best photograph sees the winning celebrity photographer off on a wildlife adventure of a lifetime, in a bid to capture a photo that will be used to help an endangered species, for a wildlife charity calendar.
