3:40 Feature story

Few suffer for their art like the wildlife photographers. National Geographic Wildlife photographer Jasons Edwards has been chased by lions, insects have burrowed behind his eyes and he even suffered from a virus that wiped out a year of memories from his mind.  He's just released a photo making a splash – the world's first image of humpback whales mating. His work is included in a exhibition of some of the world's best wildlife photography that opens today at Auckland Museum. The photos are from the Wildlife photographer of the year competition.
