As we, people, live in cities and become more and more disconnected from nature, it’s easy to forget how majestic and gorgeous it is. We like to think that we’re the most influential beings on the planet, yet we share it with so many other species we might never see face-to-face in our lifetime.
Luckily, some photographers capture wildlife at its most captivating: raw, vulnerable, and, of course, beautiful. Whether they’re professionals or amateurs, they’re welcome at the Wildlife Photography subreddit. And here we have for you the top posts from that community to marvel and “Aww” at!

The Wildlife Photography subreddit is a community of 696k netizens interested in wild animal photography. They’ve got all kinds of animals (we’re using the term here loosely, by the way) on there: mountain lions, deer, woodpeckers, eagles, and even beetles! One thing you won’t find here is pics of people, that’s for sure!
You don’t have to be a professional if you want to share your photographs with the community. Folks on the subreddit often discuss their technique, what gear they use, and how they manage to get the beautiful shots. There is one strict rule, though: the photographs people post must be their own. The group is not just for appreciating beautiful pics of wildlife; it’s a community of photographers, veterans and beginners alike.

We got in touch with one of the enthusiast photographers from r/WildlifePhotography. He’s Taylor Rogers, an amateur photographer for whom shooting animals in the wild is a dear hobby. He’s interested in landscapes, macro and wildlife photography, and today, we’re chatting with him about the latter.
Taylor tells us that he first got into photography because of all the National Geographic documentaries he used to watch as a kid. So, who said television never taught us anything, huh? When Taylor turned 14, he got his first job and earned some money. After saving up for a bit, he was able to get his first camera.
