Canadian Wildlife / Nature Photographer Christopher Dodds Katmai National Park, Alaska, | June 2010 Image courtesey Darren Charles Holloway (thanks, Darren).

Welcome to NaturePhotographyBlog.com. A nature photography blog and on-line resource for nature photographers, created by one.

I am a full-time nature photographer, adventurer, teacher and lecturer specializing in birds. Many of my images have been published in world-class publications including National Geographic, Outdoor Photographer Canada and Bird Conservation (American Bird Conservancy) to name just a few. If you are from Quebec, you've probably seen some of my images locally in Quebec Oiseaux magazine, or on information panels at your local nature park.

I first discovered my love of the great Canadian outdoors during family and Boy Scout camping, and canoe and backpacking trips, after moving to Canada from England when I was eight. By the time I was fourteen, I thrilled at freezing fleeting glimpses of birds and the resulting ability to study every detail of their intricate beauty. My passion for photography has taken several paths through the years; photojournalism, studio portraiture, commercial and wedding photography to name just a few. I apprenticed in colour and black and white darkrooms, but today embrace the computerized, digital workflow, and all it has to offer. I am passionate about capturing images of nature in an artistic, yet technically perfect, manner.

Today I travel to some of the best locations in the world photographing, teaching nature photography workshops, and lecturing. My images are collected and published regularly.

I've created this blog for several reasons: First to share recent images, trip reports, tips & techniques and workshop announcements. The second reason I have created this blog is to give the reader an inside peek into the life of a professional Nature Photographer. Is it as glamourous as we all think? I will let you be an armchair adventurer, and judge for yourself.

I'm "kicking-the-tires" so to speak, so expect changes in layout, content and direction of this blog. Please SPREAD THE WORD, bookmark this blog, or check back once in a while to share the journey with me.
