Wildlife photographers

These guys take pictures of animals, too…

Paul Goldstein

Just a quick post today listing some of the best wildlife photographers out there. Check out their websites or follow them on social media. I’m sure they’d appreciate the support…

  • Paul Goldstein
    I’ve been to Spitsbergen, India and the Masai Mara (twice!) with Paul, and there’s never a dull moment. I’ve learned a lot from (despite?!) Paul’s unique teaching methods, and I’ll be eternally grateful for seeing six cheetah kills in two weeks with him plus spending a glorious hour with the Kaboso leopard!

  • Andy Skillen
    I went to the Brazilian Pantanal with Andy to see the jaguar, and we had a terrific time together. A great teacher and can talk about photography until the cows come home…

  • Mark Carwardine
    I met Mark on the Spitsbergen trip with Paul Goldstein. He’s a great guy, incredibly knowledgeable and very amusing when he talks about his travels with Stephen Fry…! Check out his recent series of YouTube videos here.

  • Marina Cano
    I went on a photography workshop with Marina to the Parque de la Naturaleza de Cabárceno in northern Spain, and so I have to credit her with introducing me to her local safari park and also teaching me the secret to getting a black background in zebra shots: bread!

  • David Yarrow
    David is one of the most commercially successful wildlife photographers on the planet, and he’s famous for close-up camera trap photos and ‘typical’ scenes with wild animals inserted into them. I met him once at one of his exhibitions at Somerset House, and we had a nice chat. Good luck to him.

  • Andy Rouse
    I discovered Andy’s training videos during lockdown, and I’ve come to respect his knowledge, skill and enthusiasm.

  • Tom Way

  • Joel Sartore

  • Thomas D Mangelsen
    He’s famous, of course, for Catch of the Day, his shot of a brown bear at Brooks Falls about to catch a salmon in mid-air. I went there myself a few years ago and took a similar shot in homage to the great man.

  • Paul Nicklen

  • Greg du Toit

  • David Lloyd

  • Shaaz Jung
    He’s probably best known for all his shots of black panthers - I don’t know where he finds them all!

  • Jeffrey Wu
    I met Jeffrey quite by chance when I was with Paul Goldstein in the Masai Mara. He’s best known for his incredible array of cheetah action shots.

  • Will Burrard-Lucas

  • Thomas Vijayan
    He beat me to a photography award once (grrrr!), but I’ve forgiven him now, and he’s definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a wildlife print to hang on your wall - after you’ve looked at mine, of course…

  • Tin Man Lee
    He’s won a few awards in Nature’s Best Photography and other competitions, and he’s very keen on teaching his method of post-production to other wildlife photographers. I took part in a (very long) webinar he hosted for free, but I didn’t quite end up signing up for the real deal.
