My images are the byproduct of hours upon hours spent in the fields, woods and marshes learning about the habits of nature. Before I was a photographer, I was an outdoorsman.

People often ask me two questions. How do I get so close to wildlife? and How come your photos are so crisp, colorful and sharp? The answer to these questions is pretty much the same - years of practicing the art of stealth and camouflage, and knowing wildlife's keen senses of smell, eyesight, and hearing and the priority in which they use them. The answer about the quality of my images is helped by 20 years of Photoshop experience and knowing proper imagery and retouching when needed. Being an Adobe Certified Expert helps in many post-capture scenarios.

With years of experience retouching and color correcting such magazine titles as - Glamour, Vanity Fair, National Geographic and Victoria Secret, I transfer the techniques learned onto the natural digital landscape. First, I learned about nature, then I made a career out of digital imagery, and the age of digital photography made me a photographer.
