Conservation Photography by a Wannabe Naturalist
Photography is my passion. I’ve invested unselfishly and without hesitation: time, money, enthusiasm, early mornings, long hikes, paddles through Louisiana swamps. My focus is on conservation photography, including travel and destination photography. I do not capture weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs, babies, or portraits. In summary, I prefer the natural world, sans people, in front of my lens.
Taking photos has become a powerful medium to enhance and facilitate conservation. Combining nature photography with the proactive, issue-oriented approach of documentary photography, conservation photography acts as an ambassador for protecting the environment and improving life on earth. Through distinct images, conservation photography furthers awareness and action surrounding conservation of the environment, wildlife, habitats, and cultures.

LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY
Landscape photography shows spaces within our natural world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times small and intimate. Therefore, landscape photographs typically capture nature but can also focus on man-made features like buildings, bridges or lighthouses.
WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY
Wildlife photography is a genre of photography concerned with documenting various forms of wildlife in their natural habitat. As a photographer I am first and foremost a witness to wildlife. However, I always show respect for the animals and do not interfere with the their behavior.
NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY
Nature photography covers a range of images taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as plants, trees, flowers, fungi and more (botanical organisms). As an amateur naturalist, I’m inspired by nature and capture my fascination in photography. I respect my surroundings.
Simply put, by capturing moments in time in the natural world, conservation photography endorses and empowers nature conservation.
My journey into nature photography started with a point-and-shoot film camera, lets just say: ‘many years ago‘. By becoming a Master Gardener & Master Naturalist in Louisiana, I further developed my love of the natural world that has since become the primary focus of my life. My conservation photography portfolio is broken down into 12, 24 or 36-image collections. 12/24/36 is the number of images you had to work with in film photography… the objective being to tell a story with one ‘roll’ of film! As a Conservation Photographer, I follow the Principles of Ethical Field Practices as established by NANPA.
