Having reliable and powerful equipment

allows me the headspace and energy to push

the boundaries of my art to new extremes.

Behind the Scenes with Daniel Fox

Have you specialized in a specific kind of wildlife photography?

Close up portraits of wild animals.

What kind of equipment do you use (especially lenses)?

Do you get better photos from setup and wait for action to "happen" or get shots on the move?

How many shots do you take to get a keeper?

What was your best and your worst experience as a photographer?

What advice would you share with aspiring photographers?

Shoot. Experiment. Delete! What kind of photographer do you want to be? Whatever is your preference, once you know, then start photographing. Experiment, try different styles, different exposures, different aesthetics, etc. Try until you find what you feel is your signature, what makes a photograph “your photograph”. There are millions of photographers out there. Hundreds of thousands who do it for the hobby and have the funds to travel the world. So what makes you unique. What is your story? Finally, learn to delete. That is the biggest challenge today. Deleting photos (not moments) does three main things - it forces you to decide on what you like and what you don’t like; it creates value on the photos you keep, and it keeps everything in order, getting rid of the junk and making room for more creativity.
