Wildlife Photographer Takes Picture Of Small Rodents In Their Own Habitat

"Nature photography is a subject which is quite difficult to learn and to practice. It is a thing that you learn while you do. But, for you to become an expert in the field, a great amount of empathy and patience along with the skill and the ability to be at the right place at the right time are needed." This is the idea of Julian Red, a professional wildlife photographer.

All animals are peaceful in their own habitat. The best method to observe their natural and usual behaviour is to reach their natural shelters. This is the secret behind successful wildlife photography. Wildlife photography documents the life of animals for us to see them through pictures.

We found one such determined wildlife photographer who gives incredible wildlife pictures to the public. He is the 29-year-old Julian Rad. Julian is a popular character when it comes to capturing squirrels, wood mice, rabbits and hamsters. His significance is that he never threatens the lives of animals by his presence. As we mentioned before, Julian is quite interested in photographing the small animals and here comes the reason.

"I'm fascinated by rodents. Especially because they are smart and fast in their actions. Red squirrel is the most interesting animal in my life as it has amazed me since I was a kid. I see art in these critters and I love capturing that hidden art. It makes me so happy.”

Julian's very first experience of wildlife photography runs back to 2011. However, he started his career as a wildlife photographer in 2016.

"It took some time for me to realize the camera settings to step into the world of wild animals," said Julian. “My profession gives me great relief. It frees me from the rush and worries and makes me so peaceful from inside. I've got a chance to deal very closely with nature. Photographing with expensive cameras and high quality lenses will never make you a good photographer. Good images rely on you and not your camera. The camera is just a tool.”

“Countless nights in my photo-hide have taught me that patience is the best thing to practice to get the perfect shot. Those countless hours taught me that I should never chase an animal to get a photograph. We have to be patient and it will pay off for sure.”

Here's an amazing collection of Julian's pictures of different rodents. Make sure to check more about him on Instagram and Facebook. Happy trails until we meet again!
