One area of photography that requires as much patience as it often does bravery, is wildlife photography. But the breathtaking pay-offs are usually wonders to behold. Wildlife photographers have some of the most respected and impressive galleries to file through when one is looking to appreciate the art of this industry, or as this case may be, when seeking a bit of inspiration.

Given that we have an older post featuring some wildlife photos that is still getting comments to this day, we thought we would deliver our readers a fresh dose from the wild side of photography. Here we have gone through the galleries of a handful of spectacular wildlife photographers to showcase this go around. If you like what you see featured here, remember to check out each individual artists’ sites for more amazing shots. Some are even available as prints!

Well, without any further ado, enjoy these stunning captures!
