It’s no secret that wildlife and nature photography is a male-dominated area. More men enter wildlife photography competitions and more men win. The first female winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the year was in 1…Read More![]()

Thank you Danie. I was quite shocked at the time.
I feel this is in the same category as a lion on a kill or a leopard in a tree with a kill. But it was not received with the same awe for raw nature.

Landie, as a female wildlife photographer, I totally understand where you are coming from. The reason why we are wildlife photographers is because we are the voices in the wild.

Landie, I was taken aback to hear about the discrimination you faced, especially in a field that should ideally be free from gender bias. Women have every right to engage in wildlife photography just as much as men do. There’s no reason why you should back off or limit your subject matter based on outdated expectations.
Your work is a compelling…Read More
