Gordon Buchanan is a Scottish wildlife film maker noted for his contributions to Big Cat Diary, Springwatch, Natural World and the 'Lost Land' series.Buchanan was born in Dumbarton on 10 April 1972 and brought up on the Isle of Mull. As a child, Buchanan was a fan of David Attenborough's television programmes and Survival, a nature programme.Buchanan's career in wildlife photography has yielded a number of critically acclaimed documentaries, shot variously in Asia (especially the Indian Subcontinent), Latin America, Europe and Africa. His career began when Nick Gordon, whose wife owned the restaurant Buchanan was working in, invited Buchanan to become Gordon's camera assistant for a project he was completing in Sierra Leone. Buchanan was there for almost a year before the project had to be abandoned due to the danger presented by the civil unrest in the country. Buchanan left school to join Nick Gordon on this trip and continued to work with him on his next projects in Venezuela and Brazil. Wikipedia
