Photographers normally remain behind the camera while their subjects pose in front — but for these 25 wildlife shoots, all the rules have changed.
25 times photographers were interrupted by wildlife
Wildlife photography involves a great deal of dedication, patience and the ability to remain completely motionless for many hours at a time, often in cold, wet, uncomfortable conditions. Remember, your subjects are timid wild animals, not fame-seeing Instagram “models”. They may be too far away to snap clearly, or you simply might not see any the whole day. What you really don’t expect is for the bold and the downright nosey to walk straight up to you and stick their nose in your lens. We spotted a post, shared to Facebook by That One Guy With Glasses, of 25 times cheeky wild animals did just that.
Encounter a young, wild, white arctic fox in Greenland. Professional photographer and tour guide Stefan Forster has been travelling to Greenland frequently for 10 years. In September 2018 after a sunrise shot at the disco bay, he saw something pure white standing on the top of a small mountain and looking at him. “I took my camera with me and began running towards the mountain. After about 20 minutes I reached the top and of course the pure white fox vanished. So I walked further to the shoreline of Disko Bay. Then while climbing down to a gap in the rocks I saw the fox looking down to me just 2 meters over me. During the next 20min we did make friends and the distance became smaller. Then the unthinkable happened. The fox bit into my lens hood and stayed with me.” Source: YouTube/Stefan Forster
