Yvette Heiser - The Best Books on Wildlife Photography Nature Photographer Should Read

Wildlife photography is a tough challenge as wildlife photographers need to have a good knowledge of fieldwork and photographing skills. For instance, it helps to understand an animal or bird's behavior to predict what it will do because some animals and birds are easily frightened. When being photographed, some species may even require stalking methods or a hide or blind for disguise. There is no dispute in the adage that "experience is the best teacher," but you should also read and educate yourself before taking any action. According to Yvette Heiser, everyone interested in wildlife photography, from beginners to experts, should study these books.

Land of  Giants by Will Burrard-Lucas

In collaboration with the Tsavo Trust and the Kenya Wildlife Service, Will Burrard-Lucas spent months taking pictures of elephants around the Tsavo Conservation Area. This book offers a message of hope: these giants are still alive and may still be protected. They are the last of Africa's enormous tuskers, and they still roam deep within a vast wilderness, making them among the rarest mammals on Earth. 

Wild and Willful by Neha Sinha

We meet fifteen iconic Indian creatures in this book that need our help and compassion for conservation. The author investigates the requirements of these species and how they exercise agency and decision-making. Wild and Wilful portrays the magic of the wild in our everyday lives with an equal emphasis on humans and animals, science, and superb prose. 

 Light  on the Landscape: Photographs and Lessons from a Life in Photography by William Neill

In addition to covering in depth the fundamentals of photography, such as light, composition, camera angle, and exposure choices, Light on the Landscape also skillfully addresses several topics that are less frequently covered, such as portfolio development, marketing, printmaking, nature stewardship, inspiration, planning, and self-improvement. The result is an in-depth and comprehensive investigation of that mysterious intersection of light, land, and camera.

 Wild World: Nature Through an Autistic Eye by Alfie Bowen 

This book depicts Bowen's intense sensory experience anytime he is immersed in nature, from his account of his effort to get the ideal image of a cheetah to his gorgeous portraits of some of the most adored creatures on the planet. Red pandas, chimpanzees, monkeys, and colobus monkeys are among the species shown, in addition to elephants, rhinoceroses, giraffes, zebras, deer, flamingos, eagles, and other birds.

 Journeys in the Wild: The Secret Life of a Cameraman by Gavin Thurston

Gavin invites you to enter the cameraman's secret world and learn about the long hours spent patiently waiting for the animals to appear, the risks that are evermore present and the difficulties that must be overcome, as well as the heartwarming and affirming moments that the cameras sometimes miss.

That is all for Yvette Heiser- the best 5 books on wildlife photography that every aspiring nature photographer must read. You can also read "Tips You Need to Know While Photographing Wildlife" by Yvette Heiser to learn more about wildlife photography.

PHOTOS: Real-life Lion King

A photographer was lucky enough to capture a real-life version of the Lion King on camera — as he spotted this Mufasa look-alike snoozing on a familiar-looking rock.

Will Burrard-Lucas was photographing wildlife in the Kidepo Valley National Park, a remote reserve in the north of Uganda, when he stumbled across the scene. Burrard-Lucas had been trying to photograph a well-known dominant male lion, known by rangers as Spartacus, and when he managed to capture Spartacus, he wasn’t disappointed.

Burrard-Lucas said: “It was late in the afternoon, and the light was beautiful, but he was in long grass and I couldn’t get a clear shot. Over to my right was a beautiful kopje, which is a small hill, and I thought it would be an incredible shot if he sat on top of it.

“Well, he must have heard my thoughts because the next thing I knew, he was up and heading in that direction.” (Caters News)

Rare Photography That Takes You Into Unknown Worlds

Enjoy some photographs you just don't see every day.

Amongst the traditional photography that comes The Phoblographer’s way are stories that focus on rare moments. From wildlife to natural phenomena, photographers wait patiently to document scenes people don’t often see. The scenes take us into unknown worlds and allow the photographer to educate us on topics we’re not familiar with. We love these types of stories, and so do our readers. If you…

El fotógrafo de vida silvestre William Burrard-Lucas de Reino Unido capturó esta imagen de un leopardo negro en el Condado de Laikipia, Kenia.

Su objetivo era capturar al animal bajo las estrellas africanas, por lo que colocó cámaras trampa y espero varios meses para capturar la foto perfecta.

Con ella ganó el primer lugar de la categoría Animal Portraits (Retratos de animales) del concurso Nature Photographer of the Year en 2021.
