In this tutorial, professional wildlife photographer Tom Mason teaches us how he remotely photographs wildlife. He walks us through step-by-step instructions for his equipment setup, location scouting, and capturing those all-important images.

Why photograph remotely, you might ask? The main benefit is gaining a unique perspective of wildlife without disturbing their natural behaviour.

There are various ways to approach this technique, but for Tom, it comes down to a few key pieces of kit – most notably, his Atomos Shinobi 2 external monitor. It allows him to see exactly what the camera sees while remaining at a distance, so the scene stays undisturbed.

The main gear that Tom uses in this video:
