African Wildlife Photos by Frederick van Heerden

Wildlife photographer Frederick van Heerden knows what’s necessary to get the exact shot he wants—extreme patience. To capture his subjects in the most natural and uninhibited way possible, he created a portable hide where he can blend into the background and wait for nature to happen. He also does a lot of finishing work in Photoshop to achieve a particular mood for each image.
