Wildlife and wild animal photography

Wildlife and wild animal photography

Today, wildlife photography is no longer considered as photo-reportage, but as a very specific theme of art photography.

Whether a photographer is observing a lion in the wilds of the African savannah, or a simple squirrel in his garden to take a photograph, the first quality he will need to demonstrate is patience. A wildlife photographer can't ask an animal to strike a pose and stand quietly under a good angle and good light to take a photographic portrait. So it takes a lot of time, patience and passion to capture beautiful wildlife photos. These nature lovers help us to put nature back at the centre of our concerns and, through their striking images, remind us of the unfathomably fragile, beautiful and mysterious nature and animal life that we need to protect and preserve. Discover our selection of varied wildlife photographs: portraits of animals without any disturbance of the scene by the photographer, or with a direct, knowing gaze from the animal that has spotted and observed the photographer's presence; or nature photographs with wider framing, in which the photographer focuses his or her attention on the environment of the natural scene, on the light, and not just on the animal, which is then part of a whole, allowing the photographer to construct a composition with breathing space in the image and putting more distance between the artist and the animal. The wildlife photographer must be persistent, wait for the action and know how to make himself forgotten by his subject. In wildlife photography we find the same feeling that the photographer himself might have experienced in his waiting and contemplation: a feeling of serenity that awakens our senses and stretches out, until we no longer perceive the passage of time. It's easy to see why wildlife photography is halfway between documentary photography and art photography, and why it's the ideal style for a natural, zen setting.
