About Steve Slater and Wildlife Encounters

I spent an incredible 6 years in South Africa where I qualified as a safari guide and helped with National Geographic documentaries. I also conducted tours but most of the time I was helping with a conservation project aimed at endangered species. The last 6 months was spent catching crocodiles, a species which is not doing so well these days.
After that I have travelled a lot in Europe where I find some interesting wildlife and some beautiful scenery too.
Wherever I go so does my camera so there is a great variety of photos for you to see in the galleries here.
My company Wildlife Encounters and this website gives me the opportunity to share my work and for you to buy the photos.
Apart from a few taken with my old and trusted Nikon D90 most of the photos are taken using a Nikon D3s and a selection of professional lenses.
My aim is to share the magic and emotion of the moment through the medium of photography.
Enjoy.
