Hi, I’m Steve Creek, a wildlife photographer based in Arkansas. I specialize in capturing the beauty of nature through my lens, focusing on animals like birds, deer, foxes, raccoons, and more.
My Approach to Photography
What makes my work different is my commitment to storytelling. For me, storytelling means capturing moments that reveal the character, behavior, and essence of the animals I photograph. Each image aims to tell a story about the connection between wildlife and their environment, offering viewers a deeper understanding of the natural world. I spend countless hours observing and learning about my subjects, waiting for the right moment to capture their unique behaviors and natural environments.
Conservation Through Photography
I’m passionate about wildlife conservation and use my photography to promote awareness about the need to protect our natural resources. Through my blog, I share behind-the-scenes stories, photography tips, and highlights of the incredible wildlife found across the United States. You can visit it here.
