Photographing an owl in the wild has always been a dream of mine, and this particular experience is still vivid in my mind.

While a simple portrait with a clean background is always appreciated, I was even more excited to capture this little fella within his natural environment, framed in a creative composition that beautifully showcases his surroundings and the place he calls home.

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.
