The American Alligator Series - AAP Photo Competition Winner

My series on the American alligator was one of the winners in the latest AAP photo competition and will be published in SHAPES #26 magazine. Growing up in Florida, I have always been fascinated by alligators. Considered ugly by normal standards and hunted for their skin or meat, gators have been misunderstood for centuries by man.
After frequent encounters with them in the wild, I’ve discovered another side which is often hidden from view. The purpose of my work is to reveal the inner beauty of these amazing creatures through photography. The winning photos were also featured in a feature story on Bored Panda.
