Zachary Folk

His portfolio may be viewed on his web site. He has a passion for travel photography and spends time photographing in Ireland, Vietnam, Bangkok, England, and the western United States. When he began to point his lens toward subjects of the canine variety, he found great pleasure and has spent the past several years trying to capture the beauty and wonderful “personalities” of dogs. He has always had a deep respect and love for all living things, and his educational degrees in Wildlife Biology and Anthropology give him the holistic understanding and perspective needed to see and photograph his subjects. He spends about four months each year doing biological fieldwork, chasing and photographing owls in Northern California.
