Fearless Leaders

Hi I'm Glenda!

I am a seasoned wildlife and landscape photographer with a profound love for the outdoors and an unyielding passion for capturing the majesty of nature. As a devoted fly fisherman and avid hiker, I bring a unique perspective to my art form, which vividly translates through my photographic renditions of wilderness scenes.

Born with an adventurous spirit, I quickly recognized my innate talent and love for photography. Through countless hours spent observing and documenting the flora and fauna in their natural habitats, I have honed my ability to seize moments of raw beauty and innocence, creating evocative imagery that tells compelling stories. My camera lens focuses not only on the grandeur of landscapes but also on the intricate details that give life to each ecosystem.

In 2019 I embarked on a new venture by opening Nature Exposed Tours dedicated to leading expeditions for aspiring and established photographers alike. These guided nature photography tours serve as a platform for others to learn, explore, and capture the breathtaking scenes of the great outdoors. I am motivated by the desire to share my expertise and ignite the same spark of passion of nature photography.

As your guide, you're not only venturing into the wilderness, you're also stepping into a learning experience. You are acquiring invaluable insights from someone with profound experience and knowledge in wildlife and landscape photography, which I readily share with my clients. Whether it's understanding the best light settings, choosing the right angle, or predicting animal behavior, I am always ready to support and help my clients to unlock their photographic potential.

Driven by my love for the natural world, my mission is to inspire a deep respect for nature through the power of photography. With each click of the camera, I seek to raise awareness about the fragility and beauty of our planet, highlighting the importance of conservation and environmental responsibility.

Join me on a unique journey to experience, learn, and grow in the realm of nature photography. With my guidance, you are not just taking photographs, you are capturing moments, telling stories, and preserving the breathtaking beauty of our planet for generations to come.
