McGrath Nature Photography

About Us

Steve McGrath is a freelance nature photographer and digital photography teacher who teaches both adults and children. He studied through the New York Institute of Photography, and has been creating images since 1991. He first began by shooting sports photography for local high schools, then weddings, and stock agencies. Then his love of the outdoors led him to focusing more on his true love "nature photography". Steve was an active member of the Gateway Camera Club for many years, and has won many ribbons and awards at fairs and competitions through the group and on his own. He is a member of the New England Wildflower Society, the Amazing Things Arts Center, and the Danforth Museum of Art. Steve shoots both 33mm and digital using a Pentax PZ-1, a Sony DSC85, and most recently a Nikon D200 Digital SLR. Several of his images are published in school text books. His favorite places to shoot are Acadia National Park in Maine, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Bryce Canyon in Utah.

Photographers' Statement

We are both Native New Englanders who love the outdoors and enjoy all that nature has to offer, and this mutual enjoyment leads us to focus our photographic energies on wildlife and landscape photography. We enjoy kayaking and hiking and often utilize this to get closer to our subjects, or to simply get a new prospective on them. One of our desires is to show others the things in nature they see everyday, hopefully, in a way that they have never seen them before. There is no greater joy for us than to be able to explore, discover, and capture the beauty of nature that is all around us, even right outside our doorstep, and to share these images with others so that they, too, may experience the many unnoticed details found in the wild. We hope that our photography helps to give people a respect and appreciation of nature in all of its seasons and moods, and also creates an awareness of the need to protect all of our world's unique and delicate wonders.
