We are delighted to announce William Templeton as the 2026 winner of the The Photography Foundation Grant. His environmental photographic essay 'The Ghost Among Us’ will focus on the reintroduction of species in the UK: the controversies, the advocates and the questions it brings to local communities.
On the upcoming project William says: Receiving The Photography Foundation Grant is an incredibly exciting opportunity. As a photographer who focuses on environmental issues, the debate about guerilla animal release has always been an area of deep fascination. I'll be travelling the length and breadth of the UK speaking to those on both sides of the divide; the farmers and land custodians fighting to preserve the stasis and those working to wind back the clock and return the islands to a bygone ecological era, one species at a time
We can't wait to see William's work unfold over the next 12 months.
