Professional people and wildlife photography are full-time jobs, and
each requires its own skills and experience. I love both people and animals but
can’t hold two full-time jobs. So I have dedicated myself to photographing people,
mostly away from tourists’ maps.
However, I have had occasional need to shoot wildlife. One of them, a few
years ago, happened in Madagascar. I was photographing the country for two books on that subject. And on their lists of needed illustrations were
the Périnet Natural Reserve and its variety of lemurs and chameleons.
Fortunately, I needed no special skills or experience to photograph chameleons and lemurs. I could have touched the chameleons. As for the lemurs, they were as curious
about me as I was about them. And, charming animals, they let me get quite
close to them too. I spent a wonderfully quite morning in their company.
