Who we are. . .

Wildlife photography doesn’t start with your camera. It starts with understanding.

PhotoWILD Magazine is a publication about the science and practice of fieldcraft — the ability to find, approach, and photograph wildlife by understanding how animals interact with the landscape. We cover topics like ethology, ecology, weather patterns, and habitat structure — not as abstract ideas, but as practical tools for photographers in the field. We draw from predator-prey dynamics, indigenous knowledge systems, and the concept of umwelt — how animals perceive the world — because these are the foundations of ethical, effective wildlife photography.

If this sounds different from other photography publications, that’s because it is.

PhotoWILD Magazine is the only magazine of its kind, dedicated to teaching wildlife photographers the skillsets required to locate, approach, and work with wild animals on their terms. This is what separates wildlife photography from every other photographic genre. It’s not autofocus systems. It’s not camera sensors, ISO settings, or editing software — those apply just as much to weddings and journalism. What makes wildlife photography different is this: we work with wild animals. And that changes everything.

National Geographic photographer Jim Richardson once said, “If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff.”

PhotoWILD Magazine was created to help wildlife photographers do exactly that.
