Patrick Zephyr grew up in Fall River, MA, where he spent limitless childhood hours catching frogs, turtles, salamanders, and snakes, and exploring other hidden natural treasures.
In 1992, he moved to the western part of the state to pursue his bachelor's degree in exercise science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Following graduation, he participated in an intensive month canoeing expedition in the remote region of the Northwest Territories of Canada. Patrick bought his first camera (a 35mm Nikon n90s) to document this adventure, and has been taking images ever since. In the coursework of Patrick's plenty of outdoor explorations, his love for the natural world grew. In 1998, Patrick decided to turn his passions for the natural world and photography in to a full-time profession as a nature photographer. His camera has since followed him to such places as the Bugaboos in British Columbia, the rainforests and mountainous regions of the west coast, the everglades and limitless National Parks. However, his favourite photographic subjects are what he discovers each morning as he explores his own backyard.
