A closer look, with Brian

Photographer. Designer. Nature enthusiast.

I’m Brian, the photographer and designer behind Where’s Wildlife. Much of my time outdoors is spent exploring the Midwest, photographing birds and native plants, and learning the stories behind what I find.

I created Where’s Wildlife to share those discoveries and help others recognize and appreciate the nature around them.
