Greenhouse gasses and a warming atmosphere may be invisible, but the consequences of climate change sit clearly in sight. In a State of Change, a social documentary featuring wildlife photographer Donal Boyd, seeks to illustrate the climate crisis while confronting the challenge of pulling off such a monumental visual task.
When Donal Boyd visits Africa, he doesn’t just train his lens on exotic species like giraffes. This latest installment of “In the Field with Donal Boyd,” created with Adorama, follows a few packs of African wild dogs.
As summer wraps up in the Northern Hemisphere, why not take a trip to Iceland to watch Arctic foxes cruise the coastline before winter sets in? Donal Boyd’s latest installment of “In the Field with Donal Boyd" sees the photographer venture to Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in Iceland to capture arctic foxes.
Donal Boyd brings nature — alive and flourishing — to your doorstep. As a conservation photographer, his mission is to advocate for wild spaces and animals by displaying their immaculate beauty.
When photographing wild animals in the great outdoors (especially big ones), it's important to stay at a safe distance for the good of both you and the animal. But one sightseer in a Canadian national park was recently seen giving a masterclass in how NOT to shoot from a reasonable distance.
A French family with a child was caught on camera narrowly escaping a group of cheetahs after they got out of their car to take photos at a safari park.
Moscow-based photographer Olga Barantseva has built quite an oeuvre of mesmerizing imagery consisting of models posing with animals such as bears, wolves, raccoons, ostriches, owls, crocodiles, and snakes.
Raised in Kenya, UK-based wildlife photographer Anup Shah grew up surrounded by wild animals that captured his imagination. For his latest photo book, The Mara, Shah returned to his homeland and shot close-up portraits of those creatures.
Hyperlapse videos generally show dazzling urban cityscapes filled with bright lights and tall skyscrapers. The video above is a …
People still aren't getting the message that taking selfies with wild animals can be a very bad idea. Yet another tourist was flipped by a bison in Yellowstone last week while shooting a selfie, but that pales in comparison to what happened to a San Diego man earlier this month: the guy tried to take a selfie with a rattlesnake, got bitten, and racked up a $153,000 hospital bill for his treatment.
For his projects Affinity I and Affinity II, Santa Fe, New Mexico-based photographer Brad Wilson captured beautiful studio portraits of all kinds of wild animals, from birds to primates to the diverse wildlife of the African safari.
Of the 65 animal species featured, 12 of them are different types of owls. Wilson's detailed images capture the nobility and personalities of the nocturnal birds of prey.
Here's another case to file under "It's a bad idea to fly camera drones too close to animals": James and Mira Raley of The Honey Badger recently tried to do a "quick flight" with their camera drone over a group of male lions. Unfortunately for them, they lost control during the flight, crashed the drone into a nearby tree, and watched helplessly as the lions pounced on the fallen "prey" with the camera still rolling.
This just in: running up to bears and snapping selfies with them is a bad idea. That's according to a US Forest Service spokesperson who says that tourists are becoming more and more bold with approaching the creature for memorable snapshots.
It's been a very news heavy couple of days, with much of the news being depressing or controversial at that. So if you need a break from all the Terry Richardsons and bankruptcies of the world, this stunning photo series by Czech photographer and graphic designer Lukas Holas should do the trick nicely.
Some photographers make a name for themselves by creating portraits of children, while others create similar images of wild animals. Photographer Robin Schwartz does both -- at the same time.
Since 2002, Schwartz has been photographing her daughter Amelia while the young girl interacts with all kinds of creatures in the animal kingdom. Subjects have included everything from dogs and cats to monkeys, kangaroos, and elephants.
Remote cameras can give photographers perspectives they ordinarily wouldn't be able to capture, and these photographs by photographer Anup Shah show just that. For his project titled Serengeti Spy, Shah traveled to the African savannah in the Serengeti and the Massai Mara and photographed the wild animals using a remote camera.
After receiving worldwide attention for his photographs of dogs and horses in projects titled Dogs Gods and Equus, London-based photographer Tim Flach turned his attention to more exotic creatures. His latest project, titled More Than Human, consists of intimate studio portraits of various wild animals, from various monkeys and apes to specially-bred featherless chickens.
Santa Fe, New Mexico-based photographer Brad Wilson decided last year that he wanted to photograph something "a little less predictable," so he decided to shoot fine art studio portraits of wild animals using all the things he has learned through years of shooting human portraiture.
Want to see what it's like to photograph wild gorillas up close and personal? Check out the clip above from the 1974 documentary Gorilla by Dieter Plage. It shows Belgian photographer and conservationist Adrien Deschryver in heart of Kahuzi-Biega National Park in Zaire, snapping pictures of gorillas from a short distance away.
In dramatic scenes the tale of an abandoned baby is shown in heart-stopping detail. Brought into the forest by Deschryver to help it adjust to its natural habitat, it begins to scream when it hears other gorillas, and is subsequently snatched from him by the dominant silverback. Stunning photography captures the sheer force of the silverback’s intimidating demonstration before he grabs the youngster.
Deschryver demonstrates one of the things you learn in Photographing Gorillas 101: don't run when they charge.
After seeing his close-up photographs of human eyes become enormously popular last year, photographer Suren Manvelyan turned to a more difficult subject: animals. He somehow managed to create a series of photographs showing the stunning eyes of animals ranging from crocodiles to horses.
