Challenge Your Perspective

What steps do you take to leave your comfort zone when expanding your wildlife portfolio? Perhaps it’s taking extra time out to be in the field with an elusive subject or adopting a new technique. Maybe it’s incorporating context into an image by including people in a frame, or refining a concept for a fine art photo. The wildlife photographers in this issue might help to challenge your perspective and instil a new lease of life into your pictures.
