Ruta Prendiukaite

I am a Wildlife and Travel Photographer from Lithuania. I have spent most of the last 14 years living in Dublin, Ireland and my life passion is for Wildlife Photography while exploring the world.


From a very early age, I fell in love with photography. As a young girl, I got this inspiration from my older brother who also had a great love for the art of photography.

I loved the whole process of watching him taking photos and developing the film using our bathroom as a darkroom. For a young little girl, it was like magic how the captured moment would just appear on a piece of photographic paper.


After years of dreaming, I eventually got my own camera which I quickly put to work. Everywhere I looked I saw people and places I wanted to photograph. While living in Dublin I studied photography, however, after completing my course I wasn’t sure what type of photography I was most passionate about. It was only when I started traveling to far-flung exotic places that I realized my passion for wildlife and travel photography was stronger than ever. Because of this, I dedicate all my earnings to travel and to date, I have been to over 30 countries.

My passion for wildlife inspires me to explore the world further. I choose to go to countries that are rich with nature and biodiversity and I have searched for opportunities to capture amazing photos from Central America to Africa to the Caribbean. I was very grateful to see that in 2019 BBC Wildlife Magazine has published my photos twice.  My 2020 goal is to travel to Madagascar to add more great photos of amazing wildlife to my collection. I am positive that I will manifest this trip into reality :)

 

I also love Macro and Underwater photography. I get great pleasure in capturing this often unseen world for others to appreciate. I love the beauty in even the smallest of living creatures. It never ceases to amaze me just how many different species live on this beautiful planet of ours. I have such a desire to capture this beauty and diversity and share it with the world.

My goal is to eventually have my own exhibition someday in which I can display my best work from these diverse and wonderful countries. I am so grateful for this chance to be here on this planet and to experience all of God's beautiful creations. Photography is my life calling, and my vision is to take pictures that will have a positive impact on the people and help them to appreciiate
