About Our Program: Big Cats in the Americas with Jeff Parker
Jeff Parker leads photo tours throughout Central, South, and North America.
He especially loves creating images in Patagonia, the Brazilian Pantanal, and Texas. Jeff holds workshops on a variety of nature photography topics at his Red Belly Ranch in central Texas. In 2016, Jeff and his wife, nature writer Mary O. Parker, released their book, Explore Texas: A Nature Travel Guide (Texas A&M University Press).
Jeff enjoys encouraging others in their photographic pursuits.
He regularly speaks to camera clubs, nature centers, and Audubon groups about the power nature photography has to bring deeper awareness to issues of conservation.
