Since the day we launched Bush Warriors Photo of the Day Contest, we have been receiving many comments and emails about how wonderful the photos are and often receive emails and messages asking how one can perfect their wildlife photography skills and talents. This great interest in Wildlife Photography has prompted us to partner up with the super talented and leading South African Wildlife Photographer Gerry van der Walt in launching this new initiative for our Bush Warriors wildlife photographers and wildlife photography fans all around the globe!

Gerry is a highly skilled, very talented photographer with many years of experience in African wildlife photography. He is the founder of a leading South African photographic safari outfit, Photo-Africa. Gerry believes photography is about capturing the moment and telling a story with a single image. He says, “It’s about seeing light, texture, composition, emotion. Ultimately your equipment is not as important as having vision – being able to see the image even before clicking the shutter.”

Each week Gerry will bring you a new tip that will enable you to capture the best wildlife photographs possible. Noting each week’s tips and advice, you should be able to see your skills improving as we go along. Gerry’s advice and tips will focus on Africa, his specialty, but can be applied to any animal, anywhere in the world.
