35 Beautiful Examples Of Animals Photography

Advertisement

Animal photography is probably one of the most dangerous types of photography. The outcome totally depends on the skills of photographer and the time when the shot is taken. A photographer who uses good exposure, color and blur settings along with appropriate shutter speed and focusing techniques can produce stunning photographs.

Animal photographers have to be prepared and be ready for the unknown. They need to study action and language of animals to know every move. Many animal photographers use camouflage to hide themselves and to give photographs a natural and “natural” look. When shooting in wildness, photographers usually shoot with long telephoto lenses from a distance.

Below we feature 35 beautiful examples of animal photography, photos of wild, tamed and other animals. All photographs are linked and lead to the source – the respective photographers. Do not forget to explore further works of these talented photographers. Please notice that the collection presented below is supposed to only give you some inspiration, it can and should be extended; please feel free to suggest links to further resources in the comments to this posts.

    I could NEVER take photos like this even with the right gear, so people who can, I admire you, but the picture of the dog as an example of ‘Beautiful’ photography. Not so sure on that one.

    Gotta love Reyes pic of the monkey. Great moment captured in b&w. No colour needed there to convey the beauty in that shot.

    #30 Dan said it right. None of those pictures are natural. They’ve all had Photoshop trickery done to them because the colors are not natural. I myself work in photography and photoshop, and can pick it out no matter how well it is hidden. A kid with a camera in his phone can take a picture like this, and use photoshop to add the colors and lighting in for the effect these have. Please stop encouraging these people for not really having any skill. It takes away from the people who do.

    A lot of these pictures are very nice.
    They do have sharp contrast and vivid colors.
    These days contrast is king.
    I prefer black and white and less contrast but this is only a matter of taste.

    Most photographers are showing great skills notwithtanding my personal taste.

    Anyone that says that Animal Photography is dangerous probably hasn’t spent much time shooting punk gigs.

    The main things that could add to the danger are the type of the animal, and the political situation in the country where those animal photos need to be taken.

    Maybe you guys should do a feature on live music photography, would be happy to chat to you about experiences/technicalities of doing the job.
