Our Mission

We at The Nature Photographer Club™, are avid nature photographers just like you. Nature is our Zen, and we love taking nature photographs

As important, we are (and have been) members of many, if not most, of the online image-hosting platforms out there. While all of the current image platforms have certain advantages, all of them ultimately left us wanting. Most of these sites either are not nature-specific, and/or they have dismal and limited features for a serious photographer also into wildlife. However, having attempted to utilize our images on a wide variety of platforms,

As someone who is both a nature aficionado, as well as serious about my photography, it became clear to me that none of the available image-hosting sites is really run by nature photographers for nature photographers. They're made for the most part by people who 1) have the technology to create them, but who 2) aren't really out there in the wild finding and photographing "this" or "that" new species every day.

Thus, while there are some pretty nifty features to each of the major image-hosting sites, none really has all the tools we nature photographers want to see and need to have. Consequently, while satisfying to use in some peripheral ways, ultimately each of these image-hosting sites has missing elements that left me (and probably many of you) a bit unsatisfied. This lack of satisfaction is what made me join other image-hosting databases ... and keep joining still others ... I was always lured-in by a few neat features some new site would have ... but I ultimately always felt slightly disappointed by (once again) what they did not have: "If only they had this; If only they had that," were the constant thoughts I was always left with.

Well, rather than complain, I decided to do something about this, and (with my brother's help) I made my own site

And a little over three years ago, I began to envision and create a pure nature-photography environment, one that had everything I ever wanted ... and, again, with an enormous amount of help from my brother's computer-coding genius, here we are today. What we have created is a full nature photographer community, that has every single feature a nature photographer could possibly want to have, and that is because this entire concept was born with the true nature photographer in mind. (We are by no means finished, yet, either. We're still in 'beta' mode as we tweak this and adjust that ...) Anyway, without further ado:

Welcome to The Nature Photographer Club™!
