“Connecting people with wildlife, nature and
the stories that matter”
LINDA SMIT ~ PHOTOGRAPHER ~ VIDEOGRAPHER ~ ANIMAL CARETAKER ~ STORYTELLER
What I love most about wildlife photography goes far beyond the creative side of taking pictures. For me, it is about being immersed in nature, hearing the sounds of the forest, breathing in the scent of the bush, watching the sunrise, and witnessing life unfold all around me.
Over time, I have come to realise that what draws me to this work is not only wildlife itself, but the connection between people and the natural world we are part of. Through photography and film, I want to explore stories of wildlife, conservation and coexistence, while helping people see and understand the world beyond our own.
If my work can inspire that connection, encourage greater understanding, or contribute in some small way to the protection of wildlife and the people working to conserve it, then it has meaning to me.
Wildlife
Capturing moments in the extraordinary lives of wild animals, revealing their emotions, personalities, struggles, behaviours and sharing their stories with the world in stills and motion.
Conservation
Through photography and film, I help tell authentic conservation stories, capturing the essence of your mission and inspiring others to care, connect, and take action for our planet.
Animal caretaking
With hands-on experience in animal care at zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. I combine this practical experience with photography and film to create authentic, respectful visuals, supporting your work in the field while telling the animals’ stories with care.
Collaborate
I’m always open to meaningful collaborations that help share important conservation stories. With a strong online community of nearly 200,000 followers, I can help amplify your message and raise awareness for your cause through my platforms.

Follow my journey
I’m on a journey to become a full-time wildlife and conservation photographer and filmmaker, capturing the stories of animals and the people working to protect them. Through YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, I share moments from the field, from quiet, intimate encounters to the challenges and triumphs of conservation work.
Many of these stories are self-funded, and your support helps me continue giving animals a voice, documenting their lives, and sharing their stories with the world. Every view, share, and contribution brings us closer to connecting people with the wildlife that inspires and sustains us.
