Wildlife and Landscape Photography Tips from Photographer Florian Schulz

This short video has some great insights as Marc Silber interviews landscape and wildlife photographer Florian Schulz about his work.

A couple of great insights:

On landscape photography – pay real attention to when looking at an area to the thing in the scene that ‘calls your attention’. Finding a ‘dramatic opening’ into the scene is key.

On wildlife photography – putting in the time is really key. Observe, watch and learn about the animal’s behaviour. As you observe an animal look for repetitions in their behaviour that you can capture.

And lastly – his advice on thinking about the ‘story’ in your images is really great in your quest to take images that resonate with those who view them.
