About Artist
Turgay Uzer
Quite soon after my birth in 1952 I started in film photography and have now progressed to digital mirrorless. After graduating from Harvard I taught physics at Atlanta's Georgia Tech from which I retired to devote myself to travel and photography. My favorite travel destinations are Zambia's South Luangwa, Botswana's Okavango Delta, Brazil's Pantanal, and South Georgia Island . My favorite animals subjects are big cats and wild dogs. I favor animal-in-habitat images as well as close-up portraits with eye contact - not an easy task since eye contact with wild animals tends to be fleeting.
