Finding Photo Inspiration in July!


In July, I usually head north to places like Iceland, Svalbard, and Alaska. The days are long, the light is beautiful, and the wildlife is busy feeding before winter. It’s the perfect time to be out in nature with my camera.

I also enjoy traveling to the Southern Hemisphere, where it’s winter this time of year. Countries like Chile, Argentina, and South Africa have cooler, drier weather that makes for great wildlife and landscape photography. The low sun and clear air give everything a crisp, clean look.

Even in tropical places like Brazil’s Pantanal and the Amazon, there’s always something exciting to shoot in July. The seasons may not change as much, but the animals and landscapes are always full of life. No matter where I go, the changing light and weather make July one of the best months to photograph the natural world.

Enjoy the photos inspired by July! Next year at this time I’ll be in Mongolia to revisit the Eagle Hunters, Naadam games, Shaman and more – sign up today and join me on an adventure!
