1. The Ethics of Wildlife Photography (and some stunning violations)
Sat Nov 4, 2023, 07:47 PM

Breaches of this sacred trust, between photographer and audiences, happen all the time though, even amongst professionals. Photographer Jose Luis Rodriguez was stripped of his Natural History Museum Photographer of the Year Award (£10,000) for passing off a likely tame wolf as a wild one.


He claimed to have spent months in the wild patiently tracking the very rare Iberian wolf before being able to capture an image of one leaping over a fence. The judges of the competition later said they were convinced that Rodriguez had hired a tame Iberian wolf called Ossian from the Madrid Wildlife Park, and then stripped him of his award.
