National Geographic Live, National Geographic's touring speaker series, and Alberta Bair Theater proudly present "On the Trail of Big Cats" with Steve Winter, an award-winning National Geographic wildlife photographer, on Saturday, October 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Petro Theatre on the campus of MSU Billings.

Winter, who specializes in wildlife photography-particularly big cats and has been a National Geographic photographer since 1991-shares his stories live on stage about traveling the world to photograph big cats and educates audiences on the importance of habitat conservation. He takes audiences behind his lens and on his adventures to get the perfect shot.

He was a two-time winner of Picture of the Year International's Global Vision Award and won first prize in the nature story category from World Press Photo in 2008 and 2014. He has been interviewed on CBS Nightly News, NPR, BBC, CNN, and other media outlets. His film with Bertie Gregory, Mission Critical: Leopards at the Door, continues to run on Nat Geo WILD.
