About the photographer

 

Barbara Wood was born in Alabama and makes her home there today working as a freelance photographer. In 1992, after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, she went to work for the state of Alabama. Throughout her life she has always had an interest in the arts, returning to school in 2001 to take courses in the arts. Her love for photography blossomed with the advent of digital photography. After purchasing her first digital camera, she was hooked.

 

In 2005, she began her new career as a wildlife and nature photographer, shooting most of her images in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee. Barbara is self-taught and has spent much time in the field gaining experience as an outdoor photographer. Although her first love is wildlife photography, her work continues to evolve and her focus continues to move toward fine art photography. Barbara’s images are all digital and were all taken with a Canon EOS-1Ds camera. She does her own printing and framing, working from her home office in Alabama.

 

Barbara’s outdoor photography has been published in Arkansas Wildlife magazine, Louisiana Life magazine, Louisiana Sportsmen magazine, and Outdoor Alabama’s calendar. She participates in numerous art shows throughout the year in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida and her work is displayed in several local art galleries. When she’s not busy selling her work, she spends time in the field shooting. Her favorite places are the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and Everglades National Park, Fort DeSoto Park, and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida.
