As a full-time nature photographer, writer, and conservationist, I hope to share the worth that wilderness has in its pure, unaltered state. In a world the place we’re disconnecting from nature an increasing number of daily, I can’t consider one other pursuit extra worthy of my time and vitality. I consider that if I can seize a scene in the appropriate means, my images will encourage others to guard the previous couple of wild locations we nonetheless have left.
I at the moment reside simply outdoors of Salt Lake Metropolis, Utah with my spouse and three kids. Whereas a lot of my images is targeted on the unimaginable surroundings close to my house, I’ve traveled to over thirty nations to seize the various and noteworthy fantastic thing about all totally different environments.
The world is quickly altering, with no signal of slowing down. With the rise of synthetic intelligence, advancing expertise, and the proliferation of social media, the panorama of images barely resembles what it was after I first started working as a full-time photographer in 2015. Many web sites and platforms have come and gone. Sure avenues that have been as soon as extremely popular and efficient methods to share work have died off or grow to be out of date with none higher different to fill their place. Regardless of the confusion and uncertainty, images continues to develop in recognition with extra folks selecting up a digicam daily.
Now we have all been compelled to evolve ultimately with a view to proceed to achieve an viewers and share our message as visible artists. These of us who depend on images for our sole earnings have to repeatedly innovate lest we grow to be out of date. Although I’m in no way a veteran photographer, I may need some (hopefully) useful recommendation to share from my very own expertise during the last decade.
Social Media
Consideration is a valuable, finite useful resource. A lot in order that firms are investing tens of millions of {dollars} into discovering new and efficient methods to steal your consideration in any means they will. Each single social media platform is rigorously engineered—to not enhance your life, to not make you happier, not that will help you grow to be extra profitable or join with likeminded folks—however to steal and maintain your consideration for as a lot time as doable. The extra conscious you might be of this, the much less naive you might be, the extra cautious and intentional you will be with how you utilize it. (Stolen Focus by Johann Hari)
