The beauty of life’s adventure captured in photographs

As we work to know the life that surrounds us, we stand in a lineage of naturalists – past, present, and even future. We join the “cloud of witnesses” who refuse to let the more-than-human world pass unnoticed.

A little about me


01.


I’m payton


Born in Illinois, I grew up in the outdoors through Scouting. I enlisted in the Navy out of high school, where I worked as a medic and led sailors.




02.


Nature


I've always loved adventuring, but it took a new meaning when I began studying Wildlife Ecology at Florida Gulf Coast University. I now use nature as therapy and workspace.




03.


Photography


Through this refreshed view of nature, I picked up my camera to shoot the birds I was studying and fell in love with photogrpahy all over again.




04.


Conservation


Since developing Adventurer's Design, I've began working on various projects to highlight our need to increase conservation efforts and tell wildlife's stories.
