December was an incredibly exciting month for me, filled with inspiring and eye-opening encounters with some of the most talented wildlife photographers I've ever met. The interviews I had the chance to conduct will soon be featured in an upcoming Online Workshop of ours. In the meantime, let me share...

Two photographers are taking pictures of a magnificent grizzly bear. Suddenly, the bear stands up, snarls, growls ominously, and starts chasing them. The two guys drop their equipment and run for their lives. After a few seconds, the first photographer yells to the other, "We're not fast enough! He's going...

A few days ago, I had the pleasure of recording one of the interviews for our upcoming Wildlife Photography Online Workshop. I was sitting in a cozy tree house overlooking the treetops, sipping a cup of excellent South American coffee, and chatting about photography with the great wildlife photographer Ondrej...
