Late in the evening, during the polar day, the sun hovered low above the horizon, casting a warm rim of light across the bear’s fur. I had envisioned a backlit photo even before the expedition began. When the bear walked along the beach and crossed in front of the sun, I knew instantly this was the image I had hoped for.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began. In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
