About
Oliver Klink -
Oliver's photographs are like no other wildlife and nature photography you've seen, because
they are not photography in the conventional sense. He focuses on capturing wildlife behavior and
grand vistas to stir the emotions of the viewer in powerful ways.
One of his secrets for capturing intimate scenes is the use of shorter lenses and cameras traditionally
employed for portrait and fashion photography. With his extensive knowledge of his subjects, he can
capture their personality at close proximity and deliver images that make you feel you were there.
Oliver also focuses on presenting his work in unconventional ways. He has mastered framing techniques
on glass that complements the sense of freedom of his photographs.
