ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission and 1st Prize Winner - Fine Art Photography
From the moment I saw California sea lions for the first time at the Prospect Park Zoo when I was fourteen months old, I felt a special bond with them. However, it was not until I became scuba certified and started underwater photography in 2017 that I found my true calling. I am currently working on a project called Seal Peace (http://www.sealpeace.com) about all the species of pinnipeds in the world. Through my photography, I hope to engender an appreciation for each individual species as well as their diverse environments and the challenges those environments are facing. As a researcher by trade, I strive to learn everything I can about my subjects in order to most accurately and intimately tell their stories. Each species has something to teach us.
