James Manning is an 18-year-old photographer based in the United Kingdom. He specializes in wildlife and photojournalism, and has had his work featured on major news outlets as well as in his local community.

He’d love to pursue wildlife photography as a full-time career and is looking forward to what the future brings. We sat down with him to see his approach to wildlife photography and find out what his essential bits of photo kit are that he couldn't live without.
