Konsta Punkka is a 21-year-old nature and lifestyle photographer based in Helsinki, Finland, who has attracted over 750,000 Instagram followers, thanks in large part to his magical up-close photos of wildlife.

Colossal writes that Punkka will go to extreme lengths to capture a perfect photo. One winter, he crawled for hours at the mouth of a cave to nail a shot.

He’ll spend time developing trust with animals encountered in the forest, and as a result, he has been able to capture portraits of them from unusually short distances.
