These guys take pictures of animals, too…
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.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.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.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.
