Marvin Beatty Photography's photostream  

I have been shooting digitally (with Nikon cameras and lenses) for about six years. Though not my full-time job, I am rarely without my camera. Reproducing what my eye took in during the time the image was originally captured is always my main objective, but from time to time I enjoy adding an artistic flare.

I have travelled extensively throughout much of British Columbia (and a little outside North America) and prefer immersion style shooting versus going after the “Trophy Shot.” I find this approach opens my mind to better compositions and allows for more focus while shooting. I strive for crisp, clear images that are print-ready and will also supply web-friendly images to your specifications.

With an eye to the natural world that I draw inspiration from, I maintain a membership with, and happily support, TreeCulture.org. When you order prints via my website, trees are planted to offset the production process.

Clients and places published include: BC Outdoors Magazine, Okanagan Vacation Guide, Hummingbird Beach Resort, U.S. Horsetrainer.com and the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

I am also an Exclusive Artist with www.istockphoto.com/marvinbeatty, a subsidiary of Getty Images.

I both lose and find myself in photography. I hope you enjoy these images.

Quick things:
-----------------

- Sorry if i deleted anyone's favorites but I have significantly trimmed my flickr images. After six years, I felt many no longer represented my present-day photography very well.

- No animals in my photostream are in captivity or were ever harmed by my taking photographs of them. They are all wild...just the way I like 'em.

- I'm happy to make you a contact but if you don't post something at least once every 12 months, sorry....gonzo.

- I've trimmed my group list to under 25 and it's staying below that number. There's no point belonging to a group just to post 1 image and forget about it. I'd much rather be involved in groups that have themes that interest me and that I shoot often.
