Welcome to Steve Creek Wildlife Photography
My site showcases some of my best images from top locations like the Buffalo National River in Arkansas, Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma, and other stunning wildlife hotspots across the country. Through my lens, I aim to capture the beauty and complexity of wildlife in their natural habitats. From birds and mammals to lesser-seen creatures, my work is a tribute to the natural world.
Capturing Nature’s Beauty
Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours observing, studying, and documenting wildlife such as deer, raccoons, and migratory birds, as well as fragile ecosystems like wetlands and forest edges, to bring attention to species and environments that might otherwise go unnoticed. My photography has been featured in major publications, including National Geographic, the Smithsonian Channel, and regional magazines like Arkansas Living. Some of my work has even been included in a coloring book by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and interpretive signs at Mine Kill State Park, helping others learn about and appreciate the natural world.
Featured Publications and Recognitions
Much of my work highlights the wildlife of Arkansas, often captured in my own backyard. I’ve documented everything from the playful antics of Fox Squirrels at my birdbath to the seasonal migration of birds like Yellow-billed Cuckoos. At locations like Kerr Dam in Oklahoma, which offers incredible opportunities to observe diverse bird species, I’ve photographed Double-crested Cormorants, Bald Eagles, and Great Blue Herons, contributing to a diverse portfolio of Arkansas wildlife.
Insights and Stories on the Blog
I use my blog to share stories about rare wildlife encounters, technical insights on using telephoto lenses and lighting in natural settings, and reflections on the patience and preparation required to photograph wildlife authentically. It’s where I hope to inspire others to view animals not as subjects but as integral parts of ecosystems worth protecting. Conservation is a key focus of my work, and I believe photography can raise awareness about the importance of preserving natural habitats.
Join the Conservation Effort
My hope is that my photos and stories inspire you to connect with nature, support conservation efforts, and share the importance of protecting wildlife with others. Whether you’re a nature lover, a photographer, or simply curious, I invite you to explore my blog and join me in supporting efforts to protect wildlife and natural resources.
