Wildlife photographer scares off bear with shouting

Who would've thought that would've worked as well as it did?!

We've always wondered what it must be like to be a wildlife photographer. 

Capturing moments up close and personal with wild animals sounds like a life of danger and excitement. 

The adrenaline of not knowing what to expect can be enthralling. We always assume it to be something of a calling kind of job. 

We are certain you have to be able to think on your feet and be able to be trigger ready. 

As in ready to snap a great shot without a moment's notice. Speedily capturing the moment with a calm hand is key. 

But after seeing this video posted on the 9Geek TikTok page, perhaps there is more to it than we thought?

It seems it also takes a strong heart and some mimicking skills. 

We would love to have heard his heart whilst screaming at this bear, and what would've happened if that didn't work...

Should we just not assume it would've been a fatal affair? We think it's best that way.
