I would also like to share some images captured during my travels, which I will post during the following weeks.
TRAVEL JAPAN – Japanese Macaques (Snow Monkeys)FIRST STOP (Continue): Jigokudani – Kogen National Park – North West of Tokyo.
On this particular day, I photographed the monkeys, and my aim was to capture emotion. I came across this female Macaque holding her baby close to her while both were asleep.
I named this image “A Prayer For My Child”.

About Me
Bruna Mentrup
TUTOR
I started my wildlife photography journey with nothing but a passion for capturing what I had seen unfold before me for years.
Determined I could achieve that, I set out with the most basic equipment, and eventually, my efforts were rewarded.
I, fortunately, love travel and being in my own company, so I spend months on the road in perfect partnership with the animals, great light, and the landscape. My confidence grew, and my images started to speak for themselves; so did my range of equipment, as did the awards.
My proudest moment was being made a Licentiate by the Photography Society of South Africa. I take so much pride in the steps I have taken, and it gives me such joy to see my work in magazines and hanging on walls of game lodges across Africa.
My philosophy is that anyone can acquire technical skills in photography. Still, you need heart, passion and a deep connection with what is around you to capture the finest of what Mother Nature has on offer.
