#17 - Zack McQueen - Wildlife Photographer

Most wildlife photographers chase moments for years before capturing one that truly stops them in their tracks — like Zack McQueen’s breathtaking shot of an elk bugling with its breath visible in the frigid Wyoming air. Join us as Zack recounts the adrenaline rush of that perfect shot, the months of patience, and the intricate timing that makes wildlife photography both a sport and an art form. In this episode, you'll discover how years of hunting experience give Zack a unique edge in understanding animal behavior — from deciphering turkey struts to predicting bear movements. He shares his secret to capturing elusive moments, like the haunting loon calls and the aggressive charging moose, and tales of close encounters that blur the line between thrill and danger. We break down the meticulous planning behind Zach’s award-winning photos: the critical importance of light, humidity, and patience, plus the role of preparation and a keen eye for animal cues. This isn’t just about snapping pictures; it’s about living stories that ignite passion. Perfect for hunters, nature lovers, or anyone craving the raw beauty of the outdoors, Zack's insights inspire a deeper appreciation for the animals we share this planet with and the role photography plays in conservation. To Zack McQueen, wildlife photography isn’t just a hobby — it’s a way to connect with nature’s most majestic moments and tell stories that resonate long after the shot is captured.
