Welcome to the new David Talbot Photography website. I redesigned my website to make it easier to show case my work, and to make it easier for you to purchase more of my prints.
I started down this journey of wildlife photography in early 2019 after purchasing my first DSLR camera. I was out with my oldest boy and we were lucky enough to see a barn owl while out at a local nature preserve. At the time I was using a Canon SL2 with a kit lens, and I was ecstatic when I got home and downloaded my images to my computer, to see that I got a decent picture of the barn owl mid flight. Thats the moment I fell in love with wildlife photography.
Since that first picture of the barn owl, I have been able to visit some amazing places to see things that I have never seen before. I am blessed to live in the great state of Utah, that has a wide variety of wildlife, from large mammals to small birds, and a wide variety of environments to find wildlife. I am able to drive just a short distance from my house and be in mountain forests, arid deserts, shoreline wetlands, and everything in-between. I am also only a few hours away from amazing places such as the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which in itself as a huge variety of wildlife.
Living so close to such an amazing ecosystem, it is easy to make multiple trips a year. When my wife and I ask our boys where they want to go on vacation 95% of the time they want to go to Yellowstone or to the Tetons. They have fallen in love with the adventure of going out to see what kind of animals we can find. Besides the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, I have fallen in love with a local state park, that is less than 20 mins from my house.
Antelope Island State Park is a large island located in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. It is home to a herd of Bison of anywhere from 500-700 bison. It also is home to mule deer, big horn sheep, and many types of birds. Bison hands down are my favorite animals to photograph, and having the opportunity to live so close to to a place that make them easily accessible is truly amazing.
My hope with my new website is to be able to not only to share my photography, but to share the stories of some of my images as well. I also hope that it will take you to places that you have yet to explore or to places that you have been but seen from a different perspective. So follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and of course here on my website, and join me on my many adventures as a wildlife and nature photographer.
