This paper attempts to conceptualise urban wildlife photography as so-called intersemiotic translation by reconceptualising the photographer as a translator who acts as "a mediator in an experiential process that allows the recipient (viewer, listener, reader or participant) to re-create the sense [...] of the source artefact for him or herself" (Cultural Literacy in Europe, in [Bennett, K. 2019. "Editor's Introduction. The New Iconicity: Challenges for Translation Theory and Practice." Translation Matters 1 (2): 1–8], 3)
