With baby animals, patience pays: Photographer describes new book of intimate portraits
by Erik Hoffner on 3 May 2021
Suzi Eszterhas was recently named Outstanding Nature Photographer of the Year by the North American Nature Photography Association, only the second woman to receive this honor in 24 years.
Her book “New On Earth: Baby Animals in the Wild” now in bookstores showcases her specialty: photographing newborn and young wildlife.
Her secret is speed and great patience: she travels at a moment’s notice to capture newborn animals on camera, but can wait weeks for cautious parents to relax enough with Eszterhas nearby for truly candid, natural scenes to happen.

Q: I just watched the movie Grizzly Man for the first time, and it gave me chills. What do you think Timothy Treadwell did wrong?
A: Oh boy. How much time ya got?
If you haven’t heard the story before, Timothy Treadwell was an American bear enthusiast who decided he found his calling when he discovered the brown bears of Katmai National Park. He spent 13 summers living with the bears, occasionally getting so close to them that he was able to touch them and play with their cubs, before he and his girlfriend met their, er, “grizzly” end in 2003.
