The Art of Doing Nothing

Mia has created an invaluable guide! Perfect for beginners, it clearly explains the fundamentals while also sharing practical field tips to help capture those once-in-a-lifetime shots. Personally, her section on silent shutters helped me solve two problems I’d struggled with for ages. Highly recommended for anyone looking to grow their wildlife photography skills.

This book is an incredible wealth of knowledge- it covers the basics of wildlife photography including how to find your subjects, how to respectfully photograph them, and how to use your camera to translate that moment into a photograph. It goes into the technical components of camera bodies, lenses, filters, and SD cards as well as how to compose a shot, travelling with gear, and more. This is especially helpful if you don't have a photography background but want to learn or just want one location with all the answers to your questions that come up as you get more into your wildlife photo journey! Highly recommend!

Such a thoughtful guide that really gave me insights in the beauty of nature and the responsibility we have towards it. Also finally a source that has all camera settings explained so clearly and easily, super useful. Definitely recommend!

Mia has created the perfect beginner's guide for wildlife photography. She doesn't just give someone the basic overviews, but delves into some important tips and tricks to help someone just starting out. I also appreciated how Mia started off with the ethics of wildlife photography and how much responsibility a wildlife photographer has out in the field to leave no trace and respect the wildlife we take photos of. I highly recommend this to anyone who is just starting out on their wildlife photography journey.
