Hamza embarked on his wildlife photography journey by assisting renowned wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson on BBC nature documentaries. He has filmed for BBC’s wildlife documentary series ‘Springwatch’, polar bears for Sky’s series ‘Predators’ and most recently capturing incredible eagle footage for BBC One’s ‘Wild Isles’ in which Sir David Attenborough explores the British Isles, including the extraordinary wildlife surrounding Hamza’s home - a rural part of the west coast of Scotland, with wildlife and nature right on his doorstep as a constant inspiration for his work.
