I’ve Been Photographing Wildlife For 15 Years, Here Are My 30 All-Time Favorite Photos

ADVERTISEMENT

I spent 15 years capturing incredible portraits of animals. I've been actively engaged in photography since 2006, mainly focused on nature and the wild animal world. My images show leopards, lions, tigers, and giraffes in surprisingly relaxed poses, with many of them sharing intimate moments with their companions. With my photography, I managed to place my name in many world media.

The portraits of wildlife from the zoo in Skopje, as well as many other photographs, were published in National Geographic, Daily Mail, Le Figaro, Reuters, Nature's Best Photography, Sunday Express, Forbes, Independent, Insider, Telegraph, New York Post, Huffington Post, China Daily, CNN, BBC, Daily Star, Wild Planet Photo Magazine, and many others. In fact, you can also check some of my previous posts here on Bored Panda here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

After 15 years of working with photography, I decided to share my most viewed and shared photos around the world.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

Those pictures are amazing, but you should say they were taken at a zoo, cos it's misleading. It's a lot harder to track these animals in the wild and deliver the same kind of portraits. Especially elusive animals such as caracals, servals, etc.
