Animal Models

I have had the privilege of photographing wildlife at different game model locations and zoos.

Mostly my animals have been photographed in the wild, so I am always a little apprehensive about how a shoot with captive animals will go.

However, almost all published photos of wolves and mountain lions and other shy creatures of the wild have been photographed in places like Animals of Montana.

The result of all this is, that, although you have animals in camera range, it is still up to you to react to animals behaving naturally and to be ready to capture the definitive moments. It is definitely a challenge, but also very rewarding, because many of the photos I got could not be duplicated in the wild even with years of effort.

    ON THE RUN

The gray wolf possesses an easy lope that can carry him tirelessly for many miles. Once locked on his prey, he will simply wear it down into submission.
    GRAY WOLF STALK. 

The combination of a stalking pose and fresh snow falling lend an air of realism to this photo even in a captive situation. You don't really want to be the object of that stalk; but I have been followed by wild wolves without being threatened by them. They are masters at keeping out of site while keeping you in view at all times.
