Suzi is an award-winning nature photographer who has recently published a new book of animal portraits called New On Earth: Baby Animals in the Wild.

Suzi shared a few of her incredible photos with Mongabay:

Nature photography is challenging work. A photographer has to be extremely patient. It can take days or weeks to habituate animals, or make them comfortable with human company. Once the animals are used to her being around, Suzi might spend additional weeks or months observing them in order to capture powerful “wow” moments on camera.

When she’s not behind the camera, Suzi is a conservationist who works to support environmental organizations. Suzi is also a mentor – someone who offers advice or training. Suzi founded a nonprofit organization called Girls Who Click that helps empower girls to become nature and conservation photographers.
