With columns on bird photography, conservation, macro photography, animal behavior and habitats, underwater photography, DSLR and Mirrorless Autofocus systems, light and composition, and so much more.

The Journal of Wildlife Photography is not just a digital magazine. We are an educational platform for wildlife photographers, like yourself, who want to transform their photos from good to scroll-stopping works of art.
Rediscover the Joy of Wildlife Photography with Live, Interactive Webinars from World-Renowned Photographers.
The Journal is a Shortcut
The longer route entails investing a significant amount of your time and energy with minimal assurance of improvement.
Conversely, the easier approach leverages the expertise and experience of others, who have already gone through years of frustration.
The Journal was designed with one goal in mind: to help you level up your photography quickly and easily.
Whether it’s mastering camera settings or nailing post-processing techniques, the Journal gives you access to some of the best working wildlife photographers and the techniques they used to capture award-winning photographs.
