It’s always good to learn from the pros. So sit down and read these insightful photography tips. No wait, stay there, now turn to the left and hold that position… beautiful. Now that might work for humans, but apparently photographing wild animals is a little more tricky. They don’t quite listen to what you’re telling them to do or wait until you’re ready either. Shannon Wild, a judge for Africa’s Photographer of the Year, knows a thing or two about this. She’s an expert in capturing wild animals by adapting herself to their environment. She is more than willing to get down on the ground and work for that perfect shot.
Based on her experience and knowledge she has been inspired to write a 70-page e-book to share some of her tips with the world. She was kind enough to give a sneak-peek for our readers, giving those passionate novices out there the ability to develop their skills. So we wanted to find out what she thought goes into creating that perfectly ‘Wild’ shot. We hope you enjoy her top 10 tips:
