We’re on the lookout for an adventure-hungry photographer who has what it takes to head out on a photographic commission to Kenya’s Masai Mara. There, you will roam the African plains in search of the great migration, spend starlit nights in luxury and showcase Kenya’s epic wildlife to the world through your very own images and social media. This is the perfect opportunity for a photographer with a sense of adventure and lovers of the great outdoors who are hoping to expand their career.[/fusion_builder_column] [fusion_builder_column type=”1_3″ spacing=”yes” last=”yes” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding=”” class=”” id=””]

To apply for the photographic commission, National Geographic Traveller is inviting UK photographers to send in their vision of the world in one of six different categories: Action, Animal, People, River, Rural, and Urban.

Grand prize: Tatra Photography is offering an incredible wildlife photography tour for two in the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya to witness one of the greatest spectacles on earth — the wildebeest migration in the heart of Africa’s big game country. By day, you and a guest will have the opportunity to photograph lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalos, and receive masterclass tutoring from professional photographer Simon Stafford, who will help you make the most of your passion for wildlife photography.

And when you’re not snapping away, you’ll be staying in the award-winning Sanctuary Olonana luxury camp on a private stretch of the Mara River. On your return home, your best images will appear in National Geographic Traveller, handpicked by our judging panel. tatraphotographyworkshop.com

Category winners: The winner of the River category will win a place on Viking River Cruises’ eight-day Romantic Danube itinerary. vikingrivercruises.co.uk

All six category winners will win a year’s subscription to National Geographic Traveller and a place each on Foto Ruta London’s flagship excursion Foto Ruta Clue — a new and unique approach to photography tuition and city sightseeing that will test your photography skills and creativity while leading you around the capital. foto-ruta.com

The shortlist: We will send the shortlist a promo code to receive a free print of their entry from theprintspace which offers a state-of-the-art photo printing service. theprintspace.co.uk

The independent judging panel consists of Carol Enquist, National Geographic’s senior photo editor; Simon Stafford, professional photographer who runs Tatra Photography’s Masai Mara package; Kaley Sweeney, editor, The Magazine of the World Photography Organisation; and Duncan Longden, a photographer and regular contributor to National Geographic Traveller (UK). Chris Hudson, National Geographic Traveller (UK)’s art editor, will decide on the shortlist and will have the final decision on the winner.

The closing date is 15 December 2014 at 5:00pm GMT.
