Patrick
Zephyr grew up in Fall River, MA, where he spent endless childhood
hours catching frogs, turtles, salamanders, and snakes, and
exploring other hidden natural treasures. In 1992, he moved to the
western part of the state to pursue his bachelor’s degree in
exercise science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
Following graduation, he participated in an intensive three month
canoeing expedition in the remote region of the Northwest
Territories of Canada. Patrick purchased his first camera to
document this adventure, and has been taking photos ever since.
During Patrick’s many outdoor adventures, his love for the
natural world grew. In 1998, Patrick decided to turn his passions
for the natural world and photography into a full-time profession
as a nature photographer. His camera has since followed him to
such places as the Bugaboos in British Columbia, the rainforests
and mountainous regions of the West Coast, and countless National
Parks. However, his favorite photographic subjects are what he
discovers each morning as he explores his own backyard.
Patrick is now an established and award winning
professional nature photographer. His photographs are displayed
throughout New England, and have been published in newspapers,
magazines, corporate publications, and calendars. Since beginning
his photography career, Patrick has sold thousands of limited
edition prints to customers throughout the country. His prints are
sold at fine art shows, galleries, and through his studio. In
addition, Patrick teaches nature photography workshops at his
studio and at local colleges.
Patrick’s goal as a nature photographer is to
show people that the beauty and magic of the natural world is
waiting to be explored in our own backyards. His hope is that in
viewing his photographs, people will be inspired to explore and
learn about the wild places around them. If we realize and
appreciate the beauty in the natural world that surrounds us in
our everyday lives we will be inspired to put forth the necessary
efforts to keep our wild places protected. "In wildness is
the preservation of the world..." — Thoreau.
Patrick lives with his wife, Lisa, and their
dog, Kayla, in the woods of Pelham, Massachusetts.
