Paul Souders | Now available on PurePhotoCollections.com
I am pleased to announce that one of my favorite Photographers and a PurePhoto Master has given us a selection of prints to sell on PurePhoto Collections. Paul Souders has travelled all over the world and his images have been published on every continent. Paul was kind enough to offer 15 pieces he has chosen for us AND to also put them into our members gallery so all can afford to own work from this phenomenal wildlife shooter. Here are a few excerpts from his bio and some images. To see more on Paul and purchase his work, follow this link…
Paul Souders: “For much of my adult life, I have been lucky enough to get paid doing the things I love most. My work as a itinerant travel and wildlife photographer has sent me around the world and across all seven continents.
Over the last two decades, I have had ample opportunity to appreciate the absurdities of life on the road, having once spent 27 memorable hours during my first trip to Kenya digging a bogged safari truck out using only a sauce pan. In addition to my work in Africa, I have traveled extensively in Alaska, Australia, Antarctica and Asia.
I’ve done so many stupid things over my career that it’s hard to keep track. During my brief foray into international news coverage, I got shot at (and missed) in Port-au-Prince, Haiti during election violence there. I was once woken from a sound sleep in Kenya by a pride of lions pawing at my tent, and I have spent 27 memorable hours trying to dig my safari truck out of a swamp using only a sauce pan. On my last trip to Greenland, I slipped while photographing spawning shoals of capelin from some shore rocks, and found myself chest deep in ice water. I shredded my fingers trying to claw my way back out of the ocean before I froze. The time I got my boat stuck in the ice in front of a glacier was good for a laugh, especially when I started hoping between ice floes trying to drag the thing out by hand. Getting chased around in the water and head-butted by whales in Patagonia was diverting, too.
There are a lot of stories I don’t tell my mom.”
Stunning Images…
A friend turned me onto this Photographer’s work and I have to say I am stunned. I always say I can pretty much shoot anything but after seeing this I am not so sure. It’s not just the subject matter, it’s the preparation and planning, it’s the patience for the right time of day, the right light, the right angle. It’s having the mountain of gear required for some of these shots. It’s about having complete mastery over the camera AND the computer although most of this is done in camera. Quite simple it’s amazing to see someone put all the parts together and execute flawlessly. I hope you enjoy the work as much as I do…
Badlands…
Here’s a couple of landscapes from the Badlands…
