The Wannabe Naturalist Magazine™
Through the Lens of a
Landscape & Nature Photographer
This digital and print photography magazine has a unique focus: the relationship between nature, photography, story-telling, and life. Each issue is focused around a theme and covers issues and images that matter to anyone that cares about nature, animals and plants. The Wannabe Naturalist™ Magazine was founded in 2020 by photographer and Wannabe Naturalist Eugene L Brill.
What is a wannabe naturalist, you ask. This article explains.
Photography has become a powerful medium to enhance and facilitate conservation. Combining nature photography with the proactive, issue-oriented approach of documentary photography, conservation photography acts as an ambassador for protecting the environment and improving life on earth. Through distinct images, conservation photography furthers awareness and action surrounding conservation of the environment, wildlife, habitats, and cultures. Simply put, by capturing moments in time in the natural world, conservation photography endorses and empowers nature conservation.
