MY JOURNEY WITH

Wildlife Photography

Why I love Wildlife Photography

Wildlife photography is about capturing a split second, when the light and the animal behavior come together to create an emotional image.
It sounds easy, but…

The beauty and also the curse of wildlife photography is that one cannot change almighty nature. One cannot change the weather and the light, where the wild animals want to go, what they want to do, and when special things happen to them. We can’t get pictures if we are too far from the animals, but if we get closer, they may get away—or even worse, they may attack you. It is this very uncertainty, helplessness and powerlessness that makes wildlife photography so enticing and breathtaking to me.

When that moment comes, we know we have conquered nature. Maybe this is what some people mean when they say “becoming one with nature.” Wildlife photography is Zen.
