The popularity of wildlife photographers and social media
Wildlife photographers are some of the world’s most valued professionals. Providing images of animals in their natural habitat is essential to science, education, and countless other industries. Their fame is not in comparison or at par with the efforts made by them for capturing these beautiful moments. The community of wildlife photographers is quite small but they are very popular and also have respect for it.
Nowadays social media is a great platform for anyone to become popular or even an idea to become a hit. Social media is a powerful tool for all photographers. It helps them to reach a larger crowd in a short time.
Social media has been key in popularizing wildlife photographers. It provides a huge opportunity for them to share their photos and creations. Earlier their pictures were limited to exhibitions, newspapers, blogs, magazines, books, etc. and the audience was comparatively a smaller group, not just that the result of the same was time-consuming.
But today, things have changed, because of social media wildlife photographers share their photos at any time and reach a larger crowd in a short time. They can also promote themselves through social media without much help from a third party. Social media also helps wildlife photographers to earn monetary benefits as various companies sponsor them, hire them, or get them to work through social media.
With all of that having been said, there are certain negative aspects in regards to publishing them on social media; the photographs are reposted, stolen, or used without giving credits to the photographer.
Credit where it’s due and maybe things can be a little less complicated.

At Mitti Ke Rang, we started with a COVID-19 community support fundraising, as an emergency response to provide a safety net to families. This will help them survive in the lockdown period. We aim to directly support these families by providing a minimum wage, through transferring the same into their accounts or partner with local NGO, Organisation, Fellow, or a Volunteer, and support them with groceries.
