Behind the Lens
Welcome to my website, where each photograph tells a story of nature’s intricate beauty, right from my own backyard. As a professional photographer, my journey into the world of wildlife and plant documentation began as a personal quest to capture the fleeting moments of wildlife in their natural habitat. What started as a hobby to aid in identifying various species for my own curiosity has blossomed into a comprehensive gallery showcasing the vibrant lives of butterflies, dragonflies, bees, birds, and other creatures thriving among the Florida native plants in my yard.
My passion for nature extends beyond the lens; I am also an avid birder and outdoors enthusiast. Alongside my wife, a master gardener volunteer, and our loyal dog, I spend much of my time hiking and immersing myself in the natural landscapes that inspire my photography. This deep connection to the outdoors is reflected in my commitment to conservation, evidenced by transforming my yard into a predominantly native landscape. By removing approximately 90% of the traditional lawn, I have created a sanctuary that not only supports local wildlife but also provides a picturesque setting for my photography.
Each image in my gallery is a testament to the beauty that can be found in our own backyards and the importance of preserving these natural environments. Through my lens, I hope to inspire others to appreciate and protect the wildlife around us, one photo at a time.
