In the early 20th century, photographer and US Representative from Pennsylvania, George Shiras III, revolutionized wildlife photography when he began using camera traps and flash photography to capture images of wildlife in the dark. Kearton and his brother Richard were pioneers of wildlife photography, and their images of birds were used to produce the first-ever nature photography book “British birds’ nests: how, where and when to find and identify them.” The brothers’ innovative portraits of animals and safaris to the savannahs of Africa helped to popularize the genre. One of the earliest known wildlife photographs was taken by British photographer Cherry Kearton in 1892, who captured the first photograph of a bird’s nest with eggs. The origins of wildlife photography can be traced back to the early days of photography in the mid-19th century. Photo of a beetle using focal length of 60 mm and a shutter speed of 1/320 second.

Nature photography includes images from both large and small subjects. Well known nature photographers include Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, Frans Lanting, Galen Rowell, and Art Wolfe. Nature photographs are published in scientific, travel and cultural magazines such as National Geographic Magazine, National Wildlife Magazine and Audubon Magazine or other more specific magazines such as Outdoor Photographer and Nature's Best Photography. 'Nature photography' overlaps the fields of-and is sometimes considered an overarching category including - ' wildlife photography,' ' landscape photography,' and 'garden photography'.

Nature photography tends to put a stronger emphasis on the aesthetic value of the photo than other photography genres, such as photojournalism and documentary photography. Nature photography is a wide range of photography taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as landscapes, wildlife, plants, and close-ups of natural scenes and textures. Natural sources are popular places for nature photography.
