Nature photography fans will have plenty to look forward to this October. From 23–25 October 2026, the German Society for Nature Photography (GDT) will bring the 32nd International Nature Photography Festival to Lünen, Germany.
Over three days, internationally acclaimed nature photographers will share their images, stories, and perspectives on nature, conservation, and biodiversity. This year’s program includes international lectures and hands-on seminars, taking audiences on photographic journeys from Antarctica and the depths of the oceans to Bavaria’s peatlands and the mountains of Norway.
The seminars will focus on practical topics such as camera techniques, image composition, and creative approaches to nature photography. There will also be a free supporting program featuring international exhibitions, a large photography trade fair, a live presentation stage, and the award ceremony and exhibition opening for the prestigious European Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
