If you want to take a closer look at nature's wonders, you've come to the right place!

Ian Granström, a photographer from Southern Finland, captures intimate wildlife images of foxes, birds, elk, and much more. What seems to be done so effortlessly is, in reality, much more complex. Ian shared with us how sometimes he’s out of luck: "Taking photos of wild animals is not always easy. Finding the animals and getting close enough to get those extra good shots takes preparation and time. There have been countless trips in nature that I have come home empty-handed without a single photo taken in my camera."

So, let's take a look at Ian's amazing finds that he not only managed to capture but also generously shared with us all!

In an interview with Pictolic, Ian shared what drew him to the world of photography.

“My photography journey started when I was 11 years old and got my first camera from my brother. My older brother used to photograph birds and lightning storms, and he always took me with him. I am very grateful for that; without him introducing me to nature photography, I probably would never have gotten started.”

We were wondering what made Ian want to focus on wildlife photography and how being from Finland influenced his work.

Ian shared a challenging moment while trying to capture a photo in nature.

“Wildlife photography is not always filled with beautiful moments and awe-inspiring feelings. Once when I was about to photograph red foxes, I tripped, and my camera lens landed on a rock on the ground, shattering my lens glass. That was an expensive trip.”
