Wildlife and Nature Photographer
Stephen Kirkpatrick has been chased by grizzly bears, attacked by alligators, and nibbled by piranha. In the process, he's captured some of the world's most beautiful and exciting nature and wildlife photography.
Kirkpatrick's appreciation of nature began in childhood, when he divided his time between caring for a menagerie of unusual "pets" and operating a snake farm in his parents' backyard (admission 50ยข). His fascination with nature became a full time career when his father gave Kirkpatrick his first camera in 1981.
Since then, Kirkpatrick has published more than 3,000 photographs in books and magazines worldwide, including Delta Sky, Skin Diver, Audubon, Gray's Sporting Journal, Natural History, Ducks Unlimited, Outdoor Photographer, BBC Wildlife, National Wildlife, and Sports Afield.
Kirkpatrick has published 11 solo pictorial coffee table books. His latest, Sanctuary: Mississippi's Coastal Plain, is a tribute to the rare and endangered species and habitats of the Mississippi Coastal Plain. Kirkpatrick's other titles include Among the Animals: Mississippi, Images of Madison County, Mississippi Impressions, Lost in the Amazon, Romancing the Rain, Wilder Mississippi, To Catch the Wind, In Wilderness Song, Wild Mississippi, Whistling Wings, and First Impressions. His last eight books were written by Kirkpatrick's wife, author Marlo Carter Kirkpatrick.
Kirkpatrick's work has earned international acclaim, including the 2011 Writer's Digest International Self-Published Book Award, the National Outdoor Book Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, and three Southeastern Outdoor Press Association Book of the Year Awards. He has twice been named a winner in the prestigious International Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition held in London, England.
Kirkpatrick is in demand as a featured speaker for national conferences and conventions. He has appeared on the syndicated television programs "Wild Things" and "At Home Live," the Christian Broadcasting Network's "The 700 Club," The Outdoor Channel's "Adventure Bound Outdoors," and on several PBS and outdoor network specials.
Kirkpatrick's current project is On a Roll, an entire coffee table book shot on just three rolls of film.
