Alex Badyaev's signature style in nature photography is to select the setting, light, and behaviour that tells a story about a particular species, captures its essence, and reveals overlooked sides of its natural history. Much of his photographic effort is spent searching for that perfect moment that combines it all in a single frame.
A professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona in the United States, Badyaev is also a regular contributor to several international natural history magazines. His scientific work, nature photography, and popular science writing have been recognized by major international awards and fellowships.
