This is Allan Dixon. He is an adventurer coming from Australia and he calls himself the “animal whisperer”. Alan is becoming a huge star on Instagram where he constantly posts the incredible pictures he takes with his animal friends. He simply loves taking selfies with his animal buddies. It looks like animals love to take pictures with him too, since they seem pretty cheerful on the photos.
The animal whisperer explains how he managed to take these selfies. He firstly gains the animal trust by lying near them, then he takes the photos. Dixon has a piece of advice for those who want to take selfie with a wild animal. He strongly advises you to turn off your flash and put the phone on silent because it can scare the animal.
“Then you can just carefully get closer to them with the camera in your hand so that the animal thinks it’s part of your body and as soon as the moment is right, click the button a few times. The most important thing to remember when taking these kinds of pictures is that you need to make the animal feel comfortable and not send it into survival mode,” says Allan.
Allan has more than 20.000 followers on Instagram and that number is getting bigger every day. Check out the animal whisperer’s incredible photos!
