I tried wildlife photography for the first time in a luxury hide in the Estonian wilderness… and I wasn’t ready.

Hosted by Wildlife Dreams (run by the brilliant Phil www.wildlife-dreams.com), this brand trip gave me a wild ride — from fox cubs just metres away while I edited fashion photos, to enduring rain, sweltering heat, and some brutally harsh Facebook feedback from the wildlife photography community.

This is my honest look at what it’s really like stepping into wildlife photography as a newcomer — the wonder, the judgment, and the joy.
