A neurologist and geneticist in Massachusetts by profession, this lady has the command over her camera. Capturing wildlife is her hobby and she’s amazing at it.

3.NIGEL KITELEY
“I am an amateur photographer based in Oxfordshire. From a very early age I was interested in nature, living in a small village and being surrounded by sprawling fields and woodlands I spent most of my childhood watching wildlife, and in particular birds.
After leaving school I became interested in photography and I coupled this with another passion of mine, motorsport. As the years went by I was drawn back to nature and began photographing birds. In more recent years I’ve become interested in macro photography with butterflies being my preferred subjects.
I love the fact that I can get up close and personal with these amazing creatures and wandering around meadows during the Summer months takes me right back to my childhood. My passion for photographing butterflies has taken me to some beautiful places including the French Alps and Spain, and I hope to visit more European countries in pursuit of new species to photograph in the future.”
for more of Nigel’s work, follow him on Instagram. He has captured one of Nature’s most delicate and colorful beauties with such love and care that to not include him in this list would have been cruel.

Chantelle Melzer is a photographic artist who specializes in emotive images of the natural world. Her work covers a broad spectrum as she combines her background as an art enthusiast and her degree in Natural Sciences with her passion for photography, creating vivid images full of life and color, as well as monochromatic fine-art portraits of wildlife.
Born and raised in the heart of Zululand, Chantelle has demonstrated a life-long passion for the wilderness. It is this passion that constantly drives her to seek out ways to contribute towards the preservation of wildlife and their natural habitats.
Chantelle hopes that the stories shared through her images will capture the hearts and minds of people all over the world, to create awareness and to inspire them to contribute towards those organizations that are genuinely fighting hard to protect rhinos, as well as many other species who call the wilderness their home.
“There is something incredibly special about African wildlife, especially elephants – they give us a greater sense of being, silent voices that touch our souls and speak into our hearts! I cannot imagine a world without them! I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD WITHOUT THEM!” – Chantelle Melzer.
Capturing birds and butterflies is amazing, but going into the heart of the jungle to capture the wild and its inhabitants is another level altogether. Here are a few of Chantele’s highly awesome works:
