Hi, I’m Emma, the photographer behind Curated Stills. I’ve spent the last few years chasing golden light, waiting quietly in the bush, and learning to see the world the way animals do: with patience, presence, and awe.

This site is a collection of my favourite moments—those rare times when everything aligns and the wild reveals something raw and beautiful.

Wildlife photography is a lesson in humility. You can’t control it. You can’t rush it.

But when it happens, like when a leopard steps into a beam of light or a flock lifts into the sky just as the sun rises, it feels like magic. I created Curated Stills to share that feeling with you. Whether you’re here to bring a piece of the wild to your wall or simply to explore, I’m really glad you’re here.
