One Year Wild: Introducing Your Exclusive Insider Blog

One year ago, we launched Untamed Photo Magazine with a simple but profound mission: to honor the wild and the people who work tirelessly to frame its fleeting magic through a lens. Twelve months later, we’ve grown into a vibrant, global community of storytellers, adventurers, and conservation-minded creators. And now, on our first anniversary, we’re proud to open a new trail just for you: our paying subscribers.

Welcome to The Wild Within — your exclusive, members-only blog.

Every two weeks, you'll receive a fresh dispatch that digs deeper into the heart of wildlife photography. This isn't just bonus content. It’s our editorial campfire: a place for stories that smolder longer, tools that sharpen your skillset, and thoughts that tether you to the ethics and artistry of the field.

What to Expect:

• Field-Tested Gear Breakdowns: Straight from photographers who live out of packs, not studios.

• Creative and Ethical Dilemmas: Honest talk about post-processing, proximity, and portraying truth.

• Behind-the-Cover Insights: How editorial choices get made and what almost made the cut.

• Photographer Spotlights: Emerging talents. Seasoned pros. And yes—you, if you dare to share.

• Community Threads: Calls for submissions, Q&As, and reader feedback that shapes what comes next.

What’s Coming First:

Here’s a taste of what’s on the horizon:

• Inside the Bag: What a Big Cat Tracker Carries into the Field

• The Ethics of the Edit: How Much is Too Much in Wildlife Photography?

• How We Chose the Cover Image: Behind the Scenes of an Editorial Decision

• Subscriber Showcase: Our First Feature Round—Submit Your Best Shot

• Lens Deep Dive: Prime vs. Zoom in Harsh Terrains

• Seeing Wild Light: How to Master Natural Light in the Field

Each entry is handcrafted by our editorial team or field photographers and delivered exclusively to you. No fluff. No filler. Just the raw, relevant, and real stories that keep your work wild.

A Word of Thanks

This new offering exists because of you. Your support makes the magazine possible. Your passion makes it necessary. And your curiosity makes it worth evolving.

So lace up. Load in. The wild doesn’t wait—and neither will we.

See you in two weeks, with our first deep dive.

Stay wild,

Jaren A Fernley - Editor In Chief
