Czech wildlife photographer Vladimír Čech Jr. spends years in some of the most remote and wild places on Earth, all to capture animals that most of us will never see in real life. Using homemade camera traps and a lot of patience, he photographs rare and shy creatures—from lynxes in Europe to tigers deep in the jungles of Sumatra.
His photos don’t just look amazing—they tell powerful stories about wildlife and conservation. Each shot is the result of months, sometimes years, of hard work and helps raise awareness about animals that are often on the brink of disappearing forever. Scroll down to see some of his most stunning and hard-earned images.
