About the Author
Doug Gardner is a freelance wildlife and nature photographer based in Manning, South Carolina. With more than a decade of experience capturing the natural world on film, Gardner has developed a large stock file and founded Totally Outdoors Publishing Company.
The award winning photographer has had his work published in magazines, books, calendars, newspapers, and numerous other stock projects around the globe. Some of Gardners recent work has been published in Readers Digest, South Carolina Wildlife Magazine, Lake Murray Magazine, Dental Economics, and Tree Farmer Magazine to name a few. Though his work has demanded his attention as far away as the Amazon Jungle of South America, he still says his "stomping grounds" are in the wetlands and woodlands of South Carolina.
Gardner is a member of Canon Professional Services, Carolina Nature Photographers Association, MIRA, MPCA, Creative Eye Coop, A.G. Editions, SEOPA, and the North American Nature Photographers Association. He is also the founder of Wild Wings Photo-Adventures; a program that allows other photographers both advanced amateurs and veteran professionals the opportunity to tag along to some of Gardners "photo hot-spots."
