Welcome to my nature photography store! Please browse and enjoy looking at some of the “strangest of the strange” in insect wildlife. There are also beautiful panoramic scenes from mostly little known places in South America. I specialize in macro photography of exotic tropical insects and recently in panoramic photography using a realistic high dynamic range technique. The insect photos have been taken in many areas of Colombia including the Amazon region and also in tropical Ecuador. The panoramic photos have been taken in these same areas as well as in other countries.
Acquiring information about insects and insect identification has been an important part of my photographic orientation. Classifying insects is a very complex undertaking and thanks to the generous help of several outstanding entomologists, the majority of the captions contain extensive scientific identifications, many to the species level. It is fitting that every insect has its’ proper name since that can be seen as a sign of recognition and respect. Better to be known, for example, as “Cladonota biclavata of the Membracidae family” than as a nameless bug.
I am very proud of the insect photos in this collection. My assistant and I have traveled extensively, searched endlessly, and have developed many techniques in order to take the best possible photos of living and unimpaired, not chilled, insects. No doubt, many of the insects shown here have been seen by very few people and many of these insects have hardly been seen before in photographs, and some never.
