Bird Photographer & Waterfowl Hunting
Waterfowl hunting photography is a unique and challenging niche within the world of outdoor and wildlife photography. I immerse myself in the world of waterfowl hunters, capturing the anticipation, camaraderie, and excitement that come with the hunt. I also aim to document the breathtaking moments when waterfowl take flight, with a focus on the close-knit bond between hunter and their environment. This niche requires a keen eye for action shots and an understanding of the nuances of hunting, all while respecting the ethics and regulations surrounding the practice. Waterfowl hunting photography not only preserves the essence of this age-old tradition but also sheds light on the intricate relationship between humans and nature, all through the lens of a camera.
