The woods teach more than the lens ever could. Learn both.
A hunter’s discipline, a photographer’s eye - the ultimate guide to capturing wildlife with skill, respect, and purpose.
The Connection
There’s a gap in the world of wildlife photography.
Photographers learn camera settings, but never learn how to find the animals they dream of capturing. Hunters know the land and the patterns of game, but rarely bring home more than a memory.
This book bridges that gap.
The Hunter’s Guide to Wildlife Photography is built on years in the woods - learning to track, to read the wind, to move without sound - and pairing that knowledge with the skill to turn a fleeting encounter into an image worth framing.
What You’ll Learn
This isn’t a technical manual. You won’t find endless lists of settings or gear charts here.
Instead, you’ll gain the quiet skills of fieldcraft:
How to approach without being seen or heard.
How to predict an animal’s next move before it happens.
How to stay ready, calm, and steady when the moment arrives.
The result isn’t just sharper photographs. It’s a deeper connection with the land and the wildlife that live there.
Inside the Book
Inside these pages you’ll find:
Tracking and Approach: Learning to find wildlife before they see you.
Patience and Timing: Recognizing when to wait, and when to move.
Composure Under Pressure: Managing adrenaline when the shot finally appears.

About the Author
Dominick Gatto is a lifelong outdoorsman and internationally published wildlife photographer, specializing in whitetail deer. His work has appeared in respected wildlife, outdoor, and nature publications, and his approach blends the discipline of the hunt with the artistry of photography.
The best photographs happen in moments you can’t predict and can’t stage.

This book will teach you how to be one of them.
