Learn these three skills to thrive as a wildlife cinematographer

Being able to shoot cinematic imagery of animals that delight an audience is a cornerstone of the profession.

But it won't guarantee you a successful career

Here are three additional skills that you should master:

• Field Craft: The ability to find animals in the wild and anticipate their behaviour, as well as just being ace at looking after yourself in the wild
• People Management: The ability to manage relationships with your colleagues and the local teams that provide support on location.
• Solopreneurship: As a freelancer, you are a one-person business. Developing your business skills lays the foundation for financial success.

By developing these three competencies you will build stronger long-term relationships and win more work.
