Many of the animals and plants that inhabit our backyards tend to remain hidden or are so common that they are easily overlooked.

Please join us virtually on Friday, December 5, 2025, for a Zoom program based on one of the Environmental Impact Award-winning projects now on display at RTPI, Meet Your Neighbours. Attendees will have the chance to hear Niall Benvie, one of the project’s founders, speak on the history of the project and its award-winning images.

Meet Your Neighbours uses portraiture photography intended to take the viewer’s breath away. Each subject is photographed in the field, against a white background brought into the scene. This technique not only shows the subject in great detail, but reveals their translucent qualities too. Each subject becomes a celebrity, an individual.

Founded in 2009, Meet Your Neighbours is a worldwide photographic initiative created by Niall Benvie and Clay Bolt. The project reconnects people with the wildlife on their own doorsteps. These creatures and plants are vital: they represent the first, and for some, the only contact with wild nature we have. Yet too often they are overlooked, undervalued. This is conservation photography at the grass-roots level, asking people to care about where they live and showing them how extraordinary it is in a novel way.

Niall Benvie grew up in eastern Scotland, where his parents were berry farmers. His first love has always been the natural world – and image making. Benvie has been at the center of several of the largest outdoor photography initiatives of the last 15 years, including Wild Wonders of Europe, Meet Your Neighbours, and 2020VISION. He was a Founding Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers and has published seven books and hundreds of articles. He now lives in the Morvan in central France with his wife Charlotte, with whom he runs Food and Photography Retreats Ltd, and claims hoopoes, turtle doves, nightingales, and golden orioles as his neighbors.
