Bruce received his PhD in Wildlife Science from the University of Massachusetts in 1980 and followed that with postdoctoral studies in Africa and the U.S. Next he landed a job with the Arizona Game and Fish Department as a Conservation Administrator (Assistant Director). From this position Bruce worked on international and local endangered species projects, traveled all over the world as a States delegate to C.I.T.E.S. (Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species), worked with the International Association of Game and Fish Agencies, lead a group of over 200 employees, and developed wildlife conservation projects mostly in the U.S.
From here Bruce became obsessed with the photographic process and how it was useful in the conservation of wildlife and other natural resources. Bruce’s photography covers a span from elephants to bees eyes! Is you ask Bruce what his favorite subject is the response will be “if it respires I want to take its photo”. Bruce has published three books on the photographic process and been a contributor in many wildlife related books from the U.S. and Mexico.
Bruce’s emphasis is helping researchers and public relations personnel communicate their projects through the use of photographic images. His favorite “research” projects are with bats and bees! Bruce has almost countless publications of his images. Most notably are a few images in National Geographic Magazine, a lot of work for Arizona Highways Magazine, covers for Science Magazine, several posters on bats and snakes, and much more! Bruce has received awards for his photography from National Geographic Society, Nikon Small World Contest, CUPOTY, and NANPA.
From the early 2000’s until 2022 Bruce taught wildlife photography workshops in Africa, South America, Canada, and the U.S. Bruce’s obsession continues to date with an emphasis on those things that live in Arizona.
