Photography
In addition to my work as a professional biologist, I am a lifelong naturalist and appreciator of nature. Since 2015, I have enjoyed sharing my experiences with wildlife and the natural world through photography. I am active on social media and post my photographs on Instagram, Twitter, and/or Flickr. If you are interested in purchasing a photographic print, visit my Etsy page. If you are interested in a collaboration, contract work, or requesting prints other than those in my shop, please contact me by e-mail: amdubois01@gmail.com.
