About Still Wild

Observing
the quiet.

I grew up watching birds from my bedroom window in Vermont — a pair of cardinals that returned every winter, a great blue heron that haunted the pond at the edge of our property. That early wonder never left me.

Over the past fifteen years, I've carried a camera to the savannas of East Africa, the cloud forests of Costa Rica, the frozen tundra of Manitoba, and back to that same Vermont pond. The geography changes; the practice doesn't.

I believe the most powerful wildlife images aren't made — they're waited for. My work is about presence, patience, and the profound privilege of witnessing wild lives unfold.

The Process

How the work is made

Research & Scouting

Every trip begins months before departure — studying animal behavior, seasonal patterns, and the specific light conditions of a location.

Patience in the Field

I often spend 4–6 hours in a single location, waiting for the light, the behavior, the moment. Most of my best images come from my third or fourth visit to the same spot.

Minimal Post-Processing

I process my images with a light hand — correcting exposure and color, never compositing or removing elements. What you see is what was there.

We are the ones who must learn to be still."
