Dennis Eames is famous for the photos that he has taken of
animals in some of the remotest parts of the world.
Mountaineering was his first passion, where he learnt how
to climb as well as how to survive in tough conditions. He
. found himself getting more and more fascinated with the
unique wildlife and documenting what he had seen on
camera. His big break came when he received first prize for
a photograph he had taken of a grizzly bear in the Rocky
‘Mountains in North America. He was soon approached by
20 an international magazine to photograph animals that live
in mountain areas. His first job was to return to the Rocky
Mountains to document the lives of grey wolves. ‘I ended up
searching for them high and low and got some great photos
15 of the deer that they hunt, too. I soon realised that being a
wildlife photographer ticked all the boxes: travel, adventure
and climbing’
He's now a world-renowned photographer and has had his
work exhibited in numerous galleries. ‘I came along at the
right time, he says. ‘When I started, there were a number
20 of people who were known for their work in the jungle
or the desert, but I realised that there weren't any skilled
climbers among them. So I became the person who took
pictures of wildlife high up. It was as if all these animals
and birds were waiting to be photographed in their natural
25 habitats. The technology was very different then. You could
easily run out of film, but with digital cameras you can go on
taking photos until you get the right shot. You can also take
the photos straightaway without waiting for the right light,
‘as most cameras adjust for
20 this automatically’
—E...
‘I think the root of my success was that was able
to throw myself into the job straightaway. Unlike
most climbers, I was a keen photographer, and
unlike most photographers, I was a keen climber.
I've spent so much time in the mountains it feels
like a walk in the park. As long as you have the
right experience, prepare well and know how
to source food to eat and water to drink, you'll
normally get the shots you're after. I have had a lot
of successes and a few failures - one time Iwas in
Yosemite Park to photograph bobcats at night and
1 forgot to take a camera that would take photos in
the dark’
When Dennis visited the Himalayas last year to
photograph snow leopards in their natural habitat,
he wasn’t counting on it being an easy affair. As
well as the danger of trying to photograph a big
cat close up, he also came up against difficulties
connected with spending a long time at high
altitude and in freezing temperatures, all of
which were extremely challenging. Spotting snow
leopards can be hard enough, so much so that they
are known as ‘the ghost of the mountains’. Finally,
after three weeks, he came across the tracks of one
of these animals in the snow. He was able to follow
it across the mountain ridge and take photos of
it living its daily life. He says that at this point he
forgot about all the problems he'd had and started
to enjoy the experience of being so close to a
snow leopard.
Looking ahead, Dennis would like to return to
the Himalayas to make a documentary on how
hunting and the destruction of the places where
snow leopards live by the local population has led
to these animals being close to extinction. Teaming 6
up with filmmakers and conservation groups, he
hopes to educate local people about the risks they
face and hopefully raise money for animal welfare
charities.
In general, Dennis says he has no regrets about
turning his hobby into a job. ‘I've been lucky
enough to have some fantastic experiences, but.
sometimes you can be waiting for hours in dreadful
conditions for the perfect shot and nothing
happens! This can get you down, but the great
photos and experiences make it all worthwhile.
He says he doesn’t mind the hardships of spending
most of his time up a mountain, but he thinks it’s
frustrating that the time he spends away means
that he doesn’t get to see his friends and family
as often as he would like. For example, he will
miss New Year celebrations this year as he has an
assignment to film wildlife in Ecuador.
