“Van Gogh would’ve sold more than one painting if he’d put tigers in them.”

— Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes

Since I was a child I’ve made a point of going to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition every year. While I don’t do a lot of wildlife photography (you need some pretty specialised kit for that!), I do love photographing animals. They are some of the most compelling subjects to photograph: completely unselfconscious and full of innocent curiosity.
