Andrey Gudkov is a fearless wildlife photographer who travels to some of the most remote and dangerous places on Earth, like the wilds of Borneo, Zambia, and Rinca Island. His passion for capturing animals in their natural habitat began with watching BBC nature programs and being mesmerized by National Geographic.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, he was finally free to chase his dream of documenting exotic animals, many of which are now endangered. Gudkov believes that every animal has a human-like quality, and his mission is to show the world their beauty before it’s too late. Despite the harsh conditions and challenges, including lugging heavy equipment through jungles and dealing with tropical diseases, he’s committed to raising awareness about the fragility of wildlife in our rapidly changing world.

The look on his face plus the boner partially hidden behind the leaf does note bode well for the photographer.
