Nicolas Rakotopare

Associate Fellow at the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP).

My work focuses on documenting science, conservation and nature. Bringing stories of science, conservation and nature to a general audience through all the channels available today is what I strive to do.

I have a degree in Ecology and Conservation Biology. After spending most of my childhood in Madagascar, I have been based in Australia for over a decade.

My clients include: OTF for Natgeo Wild, WildBEAR TV for Love Nature, Indigenous Desert Alliance, Channel 4 (UK), Bloomberg Digital (USA), ARC Centre of Excellence for Innovations in Peptide and Protein Science (CIPPS), the Natural History Unit (NHU), the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, TERN, and more.

I have licensed content to SBS, PBS, Plimsoll Productions, Netflix, Firesticks Alliance, and more.

I am represented by Nature PL, where I regularly add new wildlife footage to my stock portfolio. If you need specific clips or are searching for something that is not yet available in the collection, feel free to get in touch and I can help source or film what you need.

I also run wildlife photography workshops though my business Lerako Photo Tours in Sri Lanka and Borneo (links are available in the menu bar at the top).

Get in touch to discuss projects and collaborations.
