It was an overcast day along the Vancouver Island coast. We were looked for surfers - not wildlife - but I took my camera anyway. A group of gulls were also surfing that afternoon. One perched on a rock in the middle of the rollicking brown waves. Slowing my shutter speed, I focused on the gull and zoomed out to capture the beautiful BC landscape behind them. I then snapped this image.

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.
