I love spending my free time in nature, and I want to use my photographs to show people around me what I see, how I see it and why I love it. All people should see the beauty, diversity, and fragility of the natural world and all the creatures that inhabit it.
The sad truth is, I don’t know how to sell my photographs. I don’t give workshops, lectures, or courses simply because I see them as art forms, but I lack adequate skills. I don’t participate in contests and I don’t apply for grants. Sponsors are looking for a photographer with a unique vision, who can catch the best moment in an inaccessible place, using cutting edge equipment, etc. My shots are often taken near my home and the goal is to show what anyone can see if they look. Sharing with others my appreciation of the amazing world around us is what drives me. If we see the beauty of a simple sparrow, lizard, or a spider, we will realize our responsibility to the world we live in, and then we will care about blue whales and Bengal tigers as well.
I am happy to see how my photographs are being used. People and organizations involved in the protection and study of wildlife, the scientific and research world, reserves and national parks’ websites, publishers of nature literature, all utilize my photos to raise awareness and inspire conservation efforts worldwide. Such users usually have limited budgets, and I’m honored to contribute.
If you like what I do and want to support me, I would be very grateful. Your donations will help me to carry on creating and sharing my photos by covering the cost of photo equipment and travel because that way, I would be able to take some great photos of other species around the world.
Thank you for your support!
