While I was a middle school student, I liked spending hours watching wild animals. I watched them both on TV and in zoos. In the high school, I could speak the names of many kinds of wild animals. And I could also tell lots of their stories.
After getting into university, I’m very sorry to learn that a lot of wild animals were disappearing. However, some people found a special way to stop it—with photos. I had great interest in both wild animals and taking photos. So I became a wild animal photographer(摄影家) after leaving university.
My job is to take pictures of wild animals. I provide(提供) beautiful pictures for people to see. I also provide important pictures for scientists to study.
Because of my job, I travel a lot. For example, if I want to take pictures of lions. I will travel to Africa. During traveling, I need to enjoy and understand different cultures and languages. So I often talk with the local people, even make friends with them. In this way, I can take good photos.
Most wild animals are sensitive to smell and hearing. This means I have to stay quiet for a long time at work. Some wild animals could be very dangerous. This means I have to learn well to protect myself.
Being a wild animal photographer is pretty hard. But every time I take a good picture of a disappearing wild animal. I feel really great.
