 Chris Byrne is a photographer, educator and adventurer living in Portland, Oregon. After a long period of working in the stock market, in 2015 he quit his job to make a career for himself as a full time nature photographer. Since then Chris has been selling his work to collectors worldwide, teaching the craft of nature photography and providing clients with memorable experiences all over the globe through his company Destination Earth Photo Tours.

“I am proud to be able to inspire others and spend as much time as I possibly can with each person on my trips. Helping them connect with nature while teaching the techniques to capture the images that they want to create. Seeing people make breakthroughs in their art is something that I cherish. I truly believe that nature is good for the soul. The more you explore, the more you will be inspired.” 

As a self taught artist Chris is known for creating crisp, clean and colorful images, his portfolio includes landscapes, seascapes, aerial and wildlife images. His work from Iceland has been recognized by the International Landscape Photographer of the Year Competition as a 2-time winner of the Aerial Photograph of the Year.  

Growing up in Florida, Chris has a profound love for our oceans and is a contributing photographer to 100 For The Ocean which brings 100 world class photographers together to raise funds for ocean conservation. His image “Wild Heart” was the top selling image in last year’s fundraising effort. 

When not traveling internationally and leading groups Chris can be found exploring the unlimited beauty of his backyard in the Pacific Northwest.

Il microcosmo della Rocca Workshop di fotografia naturalistica e storytelling nella riserva naturale di Manerba

Un’immersione fotografica tra i contrasti cromatici e ambientali della Riserva Naturale della Rocca di Manerba del Garda. Questo workshop è un viaggio che attraversa ecosistemi opposti: dal microcosmo vitale delle zone umide, dove impareremo a gestire la luce e il movimento per ritrarre la rapidità di libellule e tricotteri, fino alle pendenze aride e solari della riserva. Dedicheremo particolare attenzione alla fotografia botanica, andando alla ricerca delle rare orchidee selvatiche, per poi alzare lo sguardo e studiare la composizione del paesaggio lacustre dalle iconiche scogliere a picco sul Garda. Il corso è rivolto a chi vuole affinare la tecnica della macro-fotografia e del paesaggio, imparando a leggere il territorio per valorizzare sia il dettaglio invisibile che l'ampio orizzonte, nel rispetto assoluto dell'ambiente.

Africa - Zambia - Explore South Luangwa - Leopards and more!

There are few places in Africa as raw and rewarding as South Luangwa National Park. Known as the home of the walking safari and one of the best places on the continent to see the elusive Leopard, this is where patience and passion for wildlife truly pay off. Set along the winding Luangwa River, the park is bursting with life — from vast herds of elephant and buffalo to hippos crowding the waterways, and predators never far away. But it’s the leopards that steal the show. South Luangwa has one of the highest densities in Africa, offering incredible opportunities to observe and photograph these solitary cats as they move silently through the bush or rest in the trees above. Days are shaped by golden light and anticipation. Early morning drives, slow explorations of the bush, and evenings that come alive with nocturnal action. Whether you’re behind the camera or simply taking it all in, every moment feels immersive and real. This isn’t just a photo safari, it’s a proper wilderness experience. Wild, authentic, and unforgettable.
