National Wildlife Refuges
National Wildlife Refuges are crucial locations for my photography. I document the diverse species and habitats these areas protect. I capture the beauty of undisturbed ecosystems. I observe the behaviors of various wildlife within these refuges. I aim to show the importance of conservation and the preservation of natural spaces.
