AUTHOR
Jonathan Wosinski is a wildlife tour organizer who believes photography is first and foremost a way to experience the wild.
For him, photography is not only about creating images. It is about moments, encounters, and sharing genuine time in nature. His approach is deeply ethical — no baiting, no disturbance, and no alteration of animal behaviour. While this sometimes requires patience and sacrifice, it makes every successful encounter far more meaningful when everything finally comes together.
Jonathan deliberately limits his tours to only a few weeks per year and works exclusively with very small groups. This allows access to exceptional locations, offers greater flexibility in the field, and creates the best possible conditions for high-quality wildlife photography — while always respecting the animals and their environment.
Behind each trip lies extensive preparation: studying species behaviour, understanding ecosystems, and constantly refining photographic techniques. The goal is never just to take a picture, but to create images with depth, emotion, and storytelling.
Above all, these tours are about sharing unforgettable experiences — observing wildlife, understanding the delicate balance of nature, and enjoying the privilege of being present in extraordinary places.
Through these journeys, Jonathan hopes to inspire awareness of both the beauty and fragility of the natural world, and to contribute, in his own way, to its preservation for future generations.
