David Farmer’s photographs, acquired across a wide geographic range, have been presented in numerous exhibitions and public displays. An ocean scientist by vocation and a nature photographer by avocation, his photography reflects the pleasure of wildlife observation in all its forms.
While his images emphasize the natural beauty of our environment and remind us of the pressing need to conserve our shrinking reserves of wildlife habitat, they are also motivated by a fascination with the extraordinary diversity of life that has evolved over our planet’s long history.
To the extend possible in his photographs seek to capture the behavior of wildlife undisturbed and are presented with close attention to fidelity, using little or no subsequent processing.
