My name is Cody Cianfrance, and I am a young photographer who loves to spend time in nature. Growing up in New York City, surrounded by skyscrapers and people, photography has been a way to escape the city and find peace in nature. Taking pictures is the most rewarding when I am far away from civilization, just me, the animals, and nature. Just having the opportunity to be in nature, regardless of whether I get a shot, sends me back to the wilderness time and time again. I want to give people who may never see these animals a chance to do so through my photographs. Hopefully, it will inspire others to preserve and protect our natural world.
