​SPECIAL WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY CONSIDERATIONS

​

  • Subject & habitat are more important than the photograph.

  • First study the species you want to photograph.

  • Make sure that you can recognise signs of stress.

  • Never let your presence cause the animal any stress.

  • If there is a sign of stress, pull back.

  • Familiarise yourself with the local rules concerning wildlife, such as the minimum distance to be kept between you and the animals, and be sure to obey them.

  • Keep in mind that the animals are always unpredictable and that you are intruding in their world. Conduct your activity accordingly and leave whenever your host gives even the slightest hint that you are no longer welcome.

  • Do not entice a wild animal with food (baiting).

  • Allow the animal to be wild, and to move about on its own accord.​
