Welcome to WS Nature Lens — a visual journey through the wild, the curious, and the often-overlooked moments of nature.

My name is Wynand Spies, and I’m a passionate nature and wildlife photographer with a deep appreciation for the untamed beauty of the natural world. What began as a personal escape into forests, coastlines, and quiet trails has grown into a commitment to capture fleeting encounters — from vibrant insects hidden among leaves 🌿 to the gentle presence of elephants in the wild 🐘.

Through my lens, I aim to showcase the intricate details, behaviours, and raw beauty of wildlife in their natural environments. Whether it’s the shimmer of a spider’s web, the silent glide of a bird in flight, or the textured skin of a resting lizard — every image tells a story.

WS Nature Lens is not just a collection of images — it’s a reminder to slow down, look closer, and reconnect with the wilderness around us.

Thanks for being here — and for seeing the wild through my lens.
