Olympic Marmot. Photograph by Kirsten Hines. All Rights Reserved. Compelled by a life-long passion for the environment, I photograph wildlife and nature. Traveling around the world to explore both familiar and novel environs, I seek to capture spontaneous wildlife moments and unique perspectives on nature. I aim to lure viewers more deeply into the natural world than they might venture on their own. I strive to evoke the experience of being in nature by photographing un-manipulated scenes and minimally post-processing images, to most accurately convey wilderness in its organic state.

My photographic collections include: ‘Nature in Abstract,’ stylistically revealing art in nature; ‘Nature and Travel,’ emphasizing portraits of wildlife and habitats around the world; and ‘South Florida Birds and Gardens,’ inspiring bird-friendly landscaping through an intimate view of birds and plants, featured in my two award-winning books. With all my work, I hope to restore human connections to the planet that have too long been neglected.
