Samuel Hazell says capturing birds with a long lens can be a calming experience

Winging it

During the Covid-19 pandemic a couple of years ago, I began to delve into wildlife photography D to alleviate my anxiety. I discovered that the process of capturing unique wildlife images not only required patience and dedication but it also helped clear my mind during those challenging times.

Since then, I have dedicated myself to honing my skills both in the field and behind the computer screen, crafting and refining my own unique approach to wildlife photography. This ongoing journey has allowed me to develop a distinct style that encapsulates my personal vision of capturing wildlife.

I have immersed myself in the art of post-processing, using software such as Lightroom and Photoshop to ensure that each image reflects my artistic interpretation of the natural world. As I continue developing my photography skills, I am excited to experiment with new subjects and equipment.
