Biography

Cherry Kearton (8 July 1871 – 27 September 1940), was a British naturalist and filmmaker. He was the World's earliest and most influential wildlife photographers and writers, know as the first man to hunt wildlife with a camera, not a rifle. He 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.
