Wildlife photography is an inherently contentious topic, and baiting is arguably top of the list. I recently wrote a semi-viral article about a photographer who chased an owl around a field and refused to stop, which has caused me to analyze my own behaviour as a photographer.
Now, I’ll stop short of calling myself a hardcore wildlife photographer, because although I love photographing wildlife, it’s not something I get to do regularly. And indeed, many of the most memorable wildlife experiences I’ve had have been through my previous role working as Deputy Editor of N-Photo: The Nikon Magazine.
