Wildlife photography is always about perseverance and patience; most of the time you either don't capture shots you are happy with, or you don't capture any shots at all. The more you actively return to areas to try to photograph animals, the more likely you are to capture the perfect shots you want to achieve.

From my personal experience, urban foxes in cities are admittedly a lot tamer than rural foxes found in the countryside. However, they are still wild animals and it is crucial to respect their space and boundaries. In these shots, the foxes I photographed were extremely tame, and occasionally they even came right up to me to sniff my scent.

In addition to my DSLR, I needed to use an 85mm lens to capture the foxes. In order to find out where you can find foxes to photograph in your local area, I recommend either asking people where you live or using wildlife-related Facebook groups. Capturing and interacting with these urban foxes was a surreal experience and one that I will always remember!
