Bison Photography
Few animals convey a sense of raw, primeval wilderness quite like the bison, and NaturesLens offers photographers the chance to capture these massive, shaggy-coated icons in genuinely wild settings rather than enclosures. Photographing bison calls for patience and a respect for their scale and power, but the reward is a set of images with real presence and character. NaturesLens's guides help position photographers to make the most of the low winter light and the striking contrast between dark hide and snow-covered ground.
Where NaturesLens Photographs the Bison
NaturesLens runs bison photography holidays in two very different landscapes: the ancient Białowieża Forest in Poland, and the Yellowstone region of the United States, based around Gardiner, Montana. The Wildlife of Białowieża Forest holiday and the Winter Wildlife of Yellowstone holiday are both scheduled for January and February, when snow blankets each location and bison are typically easier to locate and observe against the winter scenery. Between these two destinations, photographers can choose the setting that appeals most, whether that's the primeval forests of eastern Poland or the geothermal landscapes of America's first national park.
