Better Wildlife Photos

Author: Steve Brazill January 14, 2021 Duration: 50:03

Charles Glatzer is one of the top wildlife photographers working today, and that says a lot. There are so many great wildlife photographers out there, but on a rare occasion you meet someone that rises above the rest, someone that is the inspiration for so many of those others. That is Charles, and that is why his work has been celebrated internationally with over 40 awards.

As a Canon Explorer of Light Charles is one of a small, prestigious group made up of some of the worlds best professional photographers, spanning every genre you can think of. The idea behind the Explorers of Light program is to provide insight, inspiration, and education to future generations of creative photographers, and I think it’s one of the best things Canon has done for the industry. I have had a lot of Canon Explorers of Light on Behind the Shot, and every time I’m amazed at the talent in that group.

His images have appeared in many publications worldwide, including National Geographic, Outdoor Photographer, Popular Photography, National Parks, to name a few, and with over 38 years of professional experience, Charles has become not only a sought after photographer, but an educator and keynote speaker.

Charles founded “Shoot the Light“, an instructional photographic workshop and series, in the mid-nineties. His experience provides workshop participants and seminar attendees with an unparalleled resource, and provides the insight needed for the many national and international photographic competitions where he serves as a judge.

Join wildlife photographer, and Canon Explorer of Light, Charles Glatzer and me as we chat about how you can improve your wildlife photography, and as we do a deep dive into his “once in a lifetime” image of a bobcat dragging it’s prey through the snow, on this episode of Behind the Shot.

Behind the Shot - Video

Steve Brazill hosts Behind the Shot-Video, a series that goes far beyond gear lists and camera settings. Each conversation is a deep exploration of the creative and technical journey behind compelling images. You’ll hear working photographers unpack the entire process-from the initial spark of an idea and the challenges of the location to the critical decisions made in post-production. This podcast sits at the unique intersection of art and practical technology, offering tangible lessons for anyone looking to improve their visual storytelling. Rather than abstract theory, these discussions provide a real-world look at problem-solving under pressure and the artistic choices that define a signature style. Tune in for honest, detailed breakdowns that reveal how memorable shots are truly built, layer by layer. It’s an essential resource for visual artists seeking both inspiration and actionable knowledge, all grounded in the lived experience of accomplished creators.
