Jeff McGraw

Devoted to photographing the natural world, Jeff has developed his photography in the vibrant landscapes of the pacific northwest. Educated in Anthropology, Biology and Software Engineering his images in many ways mirror these pursuits by focusing on cultural traditions, natural settings, botanical forms and direct encounters with various furry inhabitants of the wilderness.

Today Jeff's photography celebrates the diverse landscapes of the Americas and has been featured in various publications, journals, juried competitions and conservation efforts to help protect critical habitats and maintain wilderness areas.

As a software engineer at Microsoft Corporation he has worked extensively on interactive presentation software, audio, video and digital animation developing his belief in the ability of visual arts to communicate ideas effectively.

"As an outdoor photographer and naturalist I try to maintain a proper respect, fear and passion for nature while not actually becoming part of the food chain. I want my images to tug at your senses and ignite your interest in the experience of nature. With a strong respect for wilderness and faith I try to create images that are worthy of my subject matter. So enjoy. I hope my photographs will magnify your sense of connection with nature and evoke a feeling of awe for the amazing world surrounding us."

All the best,
Jeff McGraw
