About Land Rover

As our longest serving Corporate Benefactor, Land Rover has worked with the Society on fieldwork and expeditions for more than 40 years, providing vehicles, expertise, funding and training, alongside supporting outreach projects.

In recent years this support has been at the forefront of innovation in enabling the use of geo-related technology in remote locations, supporting the development of geographical knowledge, as well as capacity-building by working in partnership with locally-led projects.

Today, the Society is supported by the Defender brand and sits alongside Tusk and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement as one of its three .

Defender, a brand with a mission to mobilise humanity to Embrace the Impossible, has a rich heritage of supporting exploration and facilitating adventure. It is this that makes them the perfect supporter of Earth Photo. We believe photography and film have a profound international influence and that images speak powerfully to viewers and convey meaning and emotion beyond the barriers of language.

Developing our partnership by looking to the future and the changing ways in which vehicle technology will help documentary photographers and filmmakers to achieve their goals marks a new chapter in our long-term relationship.
