Capturing tigers in their natural habitat isn’t just about skill—it’s about courage, patience, and trust. “Working with remote cameras in tiger country is hard, hot, dirty, and often downright scary. But it’s the only way to reveal the secret spaces tigers call home. Sneaking into caves while the occupants are out, with the smell of musk and the prints of their massive paws all around, you know you’re truly trespassing in their world.” Through the knowledge and expertise of local guides and trackers, cinematographer Dave Mothershaw (
@davemothershaw) and the “Tiger” team brought us closer than ever to these majestic apex predators. But their mission wasn’t just to showcase their power. “We wanted to inspire awe—and action.
This firsthand experience gave Dave a unique perspective on the wilderness and the incredible creatures that inhabit it. It was a reminder that filming wildlife isn’t just about capturing a beautiful shot—it’s about respecting the danger and unpredictability of the natural world, and understanding how critical it is to protect it.
