Steven Jaccard
Nature Photographer in Willamette Valley, Oregon
Hello, I'm Steven Jaccard, a passionate Oregon-based photographer dedicated to wildlife, nature, and the great outdoors. I firmly believe in the power of photography to raise awareness about our incredible world.
What sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to ethical photography. I prioritize the well-being and preservation of the creatures and locations I photograph, which includes maintaining a respectful distance, avoiding flash, preserving their habitats, leaving no trace, and refraining from geo-tagging or disclosing specific wildlife locations.
I also strive to take a sustainable and ethical approach in my personal life. I am mindful of my environmental impact and take steps to reduce it. For example, I support local agriculture by shopping for locally produced products. Additionally, I choose to consume a diet focused on minimizing my impact on the planet and animals. To further support my commitment to sustainability, I also make an effort to purchase goods from local artists and artisans. By doing so, I can help my local community while minimizing the environmental impact of my purchases. I aim to continue cultivating a deeper understanding of ecological issues, reflect on my choices and actions, and make sustainable decisions that benefit the planet and its animal inhabitants.
I have had the privilege of showcasing my artwork in galleries across Europe, the United States, and Australia. My passion for capturing the true essence of nature and wildlife drives every creation I make. I would be delighted to have you join me in celebrating the beauty of our world from my lens.
Thank you for being part of this photographic journey.
