Quick Tip: Minimalism in Wildlife Photography

Follow & share WildeNatur:

A white wagtail flies with its wings spread against a soft, brown background. Minimalist wildlife photography focusing on the subject.

Wildlife photography isn’t just about close-ups. A minimalist approach can create equally striking images—sometimes, less is more.

  • Clean background: A simple backdrop keeps the focus on the animal.
  • Wide aperture: Use f/2.8 or f/5.6 for a beautifully blurred background.
  • Simple composition: Utilize negative space to let the subject stand out.

Tip: Remove visual distractions and keep your composition intentionally simple—this enhances the impact of your photo!

Servus zusammen,

mein Name ist Markus und seit 2014 widme ich mich der Video- & Fotografie von Naturmotiven. Diese Leidenschaft begann während meiner zahlreichen Reisen durch Japan - von Hokkaido im Norden bis hinunter nach Okinawa im Süden. Diese Erfahrungen haben mich wieder stärker mit der Natur verbunden und auch die WildeNatur vor meiner eigenen Haustür entdecken lassen.

Hello everyone,
My name is Markus, and I've been passionate about video and photography of nature scenes since 2014. This passion started during my many trips across Japan—from the northern reaches of Hokkaido all the way down to Okinawa in the south. These journeys have helped me reconnect with nature and also explore the wild beauty right outside my own front door.
