edit data

Mike Spinak began photography in 1998. He's been writing since he was young. Lifelong passions for travel, nature, and creative expression developed into a lifestyle and career in photography and writing.

He photographs landscapes, wildlife, flora, fungi, patterns - anything and everything nature. He uses naturalist knowledge to find subjects and themes which people rarely see; then uses photography and writing to share his experiences with others. He aspires to show people the beauty and wonder of the natural world, so that they may feel kinship with nature.

His nature photography studio is wherever he finds himself with a camera and nature's largesse.

He's the author of Growing Up Humming, and has more books coming soon. ...more
