Bored Panda reached out to Ajar Setiadi to learn more about his journey into wildlife and nature photography, the emotional connections he forms with his subjects, the challenges he's faced in the field, and his advice for aspiring photographers.
When talking about the beginnings of his photography career, the photographer shared that the first time he used his camera, he simply photographed objects around his house. "Actually, because my lens was a macro lens, I often focused on capturing small creatures," he added.

Jerboa - these are cute animals. I wonder why you don't see more pictures of them.

Setiadi's portfolio is filled with a wide variety of animals, so we asked if he has any favorite species he especially enjoys photographing. "Frogs, insects, and various kinds of lizards—especially chameleons and iguanas—are beautiful creatures to photograph," the photographer replied.

Wildlife photography is no easy feat, so we were curious to learn what challenges Setiadi faces when capturing animals in their natural environment. "Wildlife photography comes with many challenges, especially the need to wait patiently—because you can never predict if or when the animal will appear."

This chick looks to be what's called a "brood parasite." where the egg is laid in another bird's nest. Can't tell the species, though. Freeloader!

If you're an aspiring wildlife photographer, Setiadi has some advice: "Learn the technical aspects, practice consistently, and always be patient—because animals will pose on their own, and you can't ask them to pose the way you want."

So much to take in with this photo! The colors, the composition, the drama, the weirdness. Love it!

Fooled by the camouflage, the decision to land there will be very much regretted.

A great photographer. The best camera in the world is worthless without the talent and skill to use it.

Such a sweet family scene. Well, maybe not so sweet for the parents . . . .

Doesn't look like cuckoo chick pics, but yeah, I think it's some kind of brood parasite.
