“In wildlife photography, close-ups are my signature style, with my goal always being to fill the frame with my subject. I rely almost exclusively on an 800mm lens, rarely turning to a 500mm, even with a teleconverter. Across tens of thousands of photos, I’ve seldom missed a shot because a bird or animal fell outside my frame. I’d rather risk losing a shot due to the subject being too close—something that happens less than 5% of the time—than settle for mediocre mid-range shots 95% of the time. For me, the detail and intimacy of filling the frame are always worth it.”
